Ghanaian musician KiDi has expressed his frustration over the constant comparisons made between the Nigerian and Ghanaian music industries. He firmly believes that the tremendous global and local successes achieved by Nigerian musicians should not be interpreted as a sign of Ghanaian music lagging behind.
KiDi unequivocally emphasized that each country's music industry holds its distinct strengths, talent, and artistic brilliance, and as such, should be appreciated on their individual merits. He advocates for recognizing and celebrating the unique contributions of both nations' artists without undermining the achievements of either.
Speaking with Pulse Ghana, the singer said “As a people, I want us to dead this conversation and comparison spirit, It’s embracing and empathetic. We are always crying on the internet about Ghana and Nigerian, stop it it’s embarrassing”.
“A lot of you sound bitter, like someone is doing something better and we can not big someone up without bring someone down. It should never be this way”.
Kidi explained that Ghanaian music possesses a unique and distinct identity that sets it apart and makes it worthy of celebration for its originality and creativity. Instead of comparing it to the success of another country's music industry, it is crucial to appreciate and promote the individuality of Ghanaian music.
He passionately urged everyone to recognize and appreciate Ghanaian artists' contributions to the cultural landscape and global success.
KiDi’s stance resonates with many in the industry who believe that comparing two distinct music scenes does not do justice to the rich diversity and creativity that each has to offer.
