Speaking in an interview with GH One, the award-winning musician stressed that achieving this milestone required greater unity within the local music industry.
Kwesi Arthur, who has enjoyed a remarkable year performing in various international cities such as Barcelona and major locations across the US, said he believed the dream of Ghanaian artistes representing the country at the O2 was within reach.
However, he emphasised that mutual support among musicians was an essential step to making this vision a reality.
His remarks sparked reactions among Ghanaian music lovers, with many agreeing with his sentiments. Some social media users highlighted the longstanding issue of disunity in the Ghanaian music scene, which they said had stifled the international growth of local talents.
However, some Ghanaian musicians are doing great things overseas. Amarae, for example, has gone on tour with pop superstars like Sabrina Carpenter and featured on the Billboard Charts.
