Ghanaian musician Ofori Amponsah, in an interview with TV XYZ, has revealed that helping other musicians is one of the biggest mistakes he made in his career.

According to the Highlife icon, writing for other stars and doing songs with them had a negative impact on his career.

He explained that because he had featured on the songs of many artists, show organizers preferred to call up artists who had him on his songs than he, Amponsah, to cut costs because, after all, his voice was on the record and did not need his presence. He said this hampered his music career.
