Famous Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie, has stated that Nigerian artists enjoy a lot of financial support from billionaires and business executives in the country, unlike their Ghanaian counterparts.

Speaking in a recent episode of the When We Sit podcast, the Azonto crooner said Ghanaian artists often do music on their own without any financial assistance from fellow Ghanaians.

He said Nigerian businessmen love supporting and investing in talents, which give Nigerian artists financial advantage in Africa.

“What Ghanaian artists do is organic. I give a business plan, even with that it is hard to get some people to come in. But in Nigeria, I think they take a lot of risk, most of the rich people with money, take a lot of risk to put their people on. If I breakdown what it takes to do the O2 Arena, you will freak out, but then we still have to do it,” he said.

He recalled meeting Nigerian billionaire, Tony Elumelu, and being shocked by the amount he told him he was investing in a Nigerian artist, whom he believes is the future of Afrobeats.

Sarkodie urged Ghanaian business executives and rich folks to emulate Nigerian business executives by supporting their artists financially.

Nigerian gospel singer, Bidemi Olaoba has spoken for the first time since the passing of his colleague, Olayemi Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings.

Toluwanisings’ final appearance came at Olaoba’s worship service in Ibadan, Oyo State.

A day later, he died after collapsing in his home, amid reports that he was rejected by several hospitals.

Olaoba, posting on his Facebook page on Sunday, said Toluwanisings’ death had left an immeasurable void.

He also admitted he would have given Toluwanisings all night to sing and hugged him longer.

“If only I had known that your last ministration would be your final one before you joined the saints in glory, I would have held you a little longer, embraced you a little tighter, and given you the entire night to praise your God and pour out your heart before Him, just as you loved to do,” he said.

Olaoba also said that although Toluwanisings’ time on earth is over, his “ministry lives on.”
