A music fan has made a statement that is certain to create some controversy, and this has already generated conversations among music lovers on social media.
The news that Second Sermon by Black Sherif had garnered a million views on Youtube some five days after its release started a comparison about the prowess of old and new Ghanaian artistes.
On Twitter, an individual with the handle @Faunda asked why the likes of Sarkodie and Shatta Wale take a while to score the now coveted one million view mark on the video-sharing platform.

He also suggested that Ghanaians might be getting tired of the acts that were once Ghana's most famous music exports compared to the likes of Gyakie and Yaw Tog.
"Shatta Wale and Sarkodie are struggling to hit a million YouTube views, and Stonebwoy too can achieve that unless he contact the Indians but Yaw Tog, Gyakie, and Black Sherif are getting it effortlessly. Agenda aside, are the 3S finished or Ghanaians just taya them?" asked Kobby Founda.
The comment has drawn varying reactions, with many agreeing that Ghanaians seemed to have developed a liking for the new artistes, hence increasing numbers on the videos and songs online.

Chris thinks it means Ghana music has evolved: "Before they started getting 1m was even a problem in Ghana. We started getting our millions when they came in, so it just normal if yaw tog dems are getting it in 1 or 3 days shows how Ghana music has evolved. They laid the foundation to this."
