We are not superstars yet. There is no superstar in Ghana. We have to come together. We are not on the Jay-Z, Michael Jackson level yet. I want us to come together as one and move ourselves forward. The ego, pride and superstar life won\u2019t help us\u2026\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not basically taking it from what you buy or own. Our music has to get into the level where you can perform at Yankee Sports Stadium, China and other places. Our music is doing well but when we come together and share ideas we will be highly successful. We have to unite and stop complaining\u2026\u201d Prodigal advised.<\/p>\n<p>Recalling the grand unity residing in the Nigerian Music Industry, the blistering VVIP member further advised Ghanaian musicians to support and promote the works of their fellow Ghanaian Industry players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNowadays people believe and want to put everything on social media. There are a lot of things we can do. We are not superstars yet. We have a great [Ghanaian] movement. When a Nigerian drops an album the fellow purchases it. I purchased Sarkodie\u2019s album. I have to do that to support his job\u2026\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n<p>Ghana\u2019s most celebrated music group VVIP arecurrently promoting their new song \u2018Koliko\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 65 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Sunday, 15 October 2017 Source: adomonline.com 2017-10-15 Prodigal, a member of music trio, VVIP &#13; Prodigal, a member of music trio, VVIP has stated unequivocally that no Ghanaian musician has gained international recognition.
