Circular Musician Emmanuel Kwamina Amonoo, popularly known as Quamina MP has suggested that Ghanaian artistes are capable of supporting Ananzo Official with more than the $5,000 cash gift he publicly received from Davido.

Davido made headlines after gifting Ghanaian fan, Ananzo Official an anount of $5,000 for promoting his song “With You,” featuring Omah Lay.

In response to this, several Ghanaians have described Ghanaian artists as stingy because Ananzo Official has not publicly announced receiving gifts from them, despite promoting their songs just like he did for Davido.

But Quamina MP holds a different view. He believes some Ghanaian artists can support Ananzo Official with an even higher amount, but it will not be disclosed to the public.

“Davido giving Ananzo Official $5,000 doesn’t mean Ghanaian artistes are stingy, as some people might want to make it look like. Maybe a Ghanaian musician can give him more than that amount but will never make it public.”

“You never know how other Ghanaian artistes are supporting him behind the scenes with numerous gifts for promoting our music. Unless we make it public before you know, but I will never say that no Ghanaian musician has given him anything, or we are stingy as people claim,” he stated in an  interview with Amansan Krakye monitored by MyNewsGh.com.

Quamina added that he is certain Ananzo is receiving support from Ghanaian artistes but has failed to make it public.

“I know that definitely Ananzo Official is definitely being given something small, though it is not something that is in the public domain,” he said.

One other celebrity who commented on Davido's gesture is Ghanaian singer Efya, who admitted she’s never given a fan such an amount of money.

She explained that, not because she wouldn’t want to, but because there is a financial gap between Ghanaian and Nigerian musicians.

“I’ve helped fans by paying their fees and buying them things, but no, I’ve never given out $5,000 to a fan,” Efya said during an interview with Nana Romeo on Accra FM.

While emphasizing that many Ghanaian artistes do offer help to fans, Efya explained that they often prefer to do so privately — and that, unlike their Nigerian counterparts, they don’t always have the means for such large giveaways.

“Most Ghanaian artistes do give their fans money, but they just don’t like to bring it to the public attention. We don’t have enough money like the Nigerians to be able to engage in such giveaways,” she stated. “Even though we rock shoulders with the Nigerians, I don’t think financially it is the same, I don’t mind admitting that.”

Efya also pointed out that Nigerian artistes tend to earn more due to the scale of the shows they perform at globally, which puts them in a better position financially.

“We don’t get paid the same way they get paid because they are playing bigger shows,” she noted.

She urged for greater support within Ghana’s music industry to help local talents access bigger platforms and better financial returns.

“Which is why we need to support each other more so that we can get on bigger platforms to be able to be collecting enough money so we can be dashing our fans 5000,” she added.
