When asked how many artists he was mentoring, Patapaa said he was currently working with about 10.
"I have about 10 boys who are even popular in Swedru."
Patapaa, born Justice Amoa, rose to prominence in 2017 after releasing One Corner, which became one of Ghana's biggest songs that year.
The hit earned nominations for Most Popular Song of the Year and Song of the Year at the 2018 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.
Before his breakthrough, he had released songs including Akwaaba, Pozo and Na Abon, but they did not enjoy the same level of commercial success as One Corner.
