Emelia Brobbey\u2019s ‘Fa Me Ko’ song received a lot of backlash both on social and traditional media.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Hitz FM\u2019s Daybreak Hitz with Andy Dosty, the astute music producer said the actress\u2019s song is better than that of most musicians in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese same people, who are in the music bracket, if you listen to them and find out if Emelia doesn\u2019t have a better song than most of them. But we take them as normal because they\u2019re in music,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n Mr Okraku Mantey believes the music industry sometimes exhibits a hostile attitude towards people who try to cross over from other sectors of the entertainment space.<\/p>\n He explained that Ghanaians are being hard on the new artiste because she is from the film fraternity.<\/p>\n Citing Jamie Foxx as an example, the Creative Arts Council President said that regardless of how hard the award-winning actor pushed his songs or his collaborations with top acts, the society was not really opened to him as a musician.<\/p>\n He explained that actors are associated with a kind of brand which makes it difficult to sometimes shift into the music world.<\/p>\n \u201cThe music people, there is a way they are able to meader their way into film and get acceptance\u201d<\/em> adding that he cannot pinpoint the particular problem when the situation is reversed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
