One hardly hears of Shatta Wale, Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, Samini, Daddy Lumba, M.anifest and others, he claimed.

In that respect, Aduse-Poku believes that some Ghanaian music artistes are merely popular within the borders of the country, but are not known to American DJs and presenters.

Speaking on Ultimate Showbiz hosted by Austine Woode, the actor stated that the only Ghanaian song he has ever heard since his five-year stay in America is ‘Adonai’ by Sarkodie and Castro.

The reason for this development, he believed, is because Nigerian acts are serious about the marketing of aspect of their music but Ghanaian music lacks international publicity.
