- The musician claimed that he was doing music at the same level as Nigerian singer Asake, with the only difference between them being support
- He highlighted how Ghanaian acts get criticised by their own countrymen and are often underappreciated by other Ghanaians
Ghanaian musician Fameye has expressed his frustration with the lack of support in the Ghanaian music industry.
Speaking in an interview with Rev Erskine on YFM, the Nothing I Get hitmaker stated that while his music is on the same level as Nigerian star Asake, the difference lies in the support each of them receives.
Fameye pointed out that both he and Asake blend their local languages with English in their music, yet Asake enjoys far more recognition and backing, especially in his home country of Nigeria. He said he does not see anything musically that Asake could do that he could not do as well.
The musician highlighted that when he travels outside Ghana, he often receives more praise and compliments for his work than he does at home. Fameye suggested that this lack of support from Ghanaians is a key factor holding Ghanaian musicians back from international success.
