"As a musician, you won't always make the right decisions, considering how cut-throat the music industry is, especially when it comes to labels."
"Situations like what Kofi Jamar is going through can always be expected, but what is crucial is the level of support around him during battles like this. That's what determines how far an artiste can go, and I have no doubt that Kofi Jamar will bounce back," Boadu-Ayeboafoh added.
