Accidents are occupational hazards for musicians
Reacting to the news of Kinaata's accident, entertainment journalist Owusu Worae described such incidents as occupational hazards for musicians and entertainers.
In a quick chat with YEN.com.gh, the head of entertainment news at TV3 explained that musicians travel a lot for shows during weekends and ceremonial seasons and with the type of roads in Ghana, it is always difficult for them.
"There have been several instances in the past and Kinaata's accident will not be the last. With the kind of roads we have and the kind of recklessness on them, it is always a risk to be travelling on land. It becomes riskier in the case of artistes who have travel faster in order to meet schedules or even perform in different towns on the same day.
"But while we cannot do much about the nature of the roads, we just have to keep educating other road users to be responsible and also advise creatives to be careful when travelling. We thank God for Kinaata's life because it would have been a deadly blow had anything bad happened to him," he said.
