King Promise on absence from local shows

In a conversation with celebrated actress Nana Ama McBrown and other guests during his recent appearance on the Onua Showtime show, King Promise said that his absence from playing local music shows had nothing to do with money.

The Legacy Life Entertainment signee, who recently released the visual for his latest song, noted that he and his team do not charge local event organisers the exact amount they charge their international counterparts.

"It is not a money thing. I do not perform many local shows because of money. It is not because they could not afford to pay me. My team and I deal with every business differently. I won't charge you the same way I charge someone in Portugal or Paris. It is definitely going to be different."

The singer said that most promoters from rural areas do not contact him to perform at their various music events even though they can afford to pay him the amount he would charge.

King Promise noted that he earned a lot of money when he performed at a big music event at Berekum some months ago.

"The reason I don't perform in rural areas is that they don't really have promoters who actually do these gigs and have reached out to me. They have money. They paid me really well when I went to Berekum, probably even better than some people in Accra would."

Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh speaks on King Promise's explanation

In a conversation with YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh shared his thoughts on King Promise's explanation for not performing at some local shows.

He said:

"Due to brand positioning, it is easy for promoters to believe they can’t afford King Promise, especially in the towns and cities outside of Accra. It is up to his team to also open up conversations behind the scenes to whip up the interest and also take away the misconceptions."
