Reggie Zippy has said music is one of the most dangerous professions in Ghana. The Afropop star who started gaining recognition after pairing with rapper Bolie to form the group Reggie n Bollie and participated in the X Factor show in 2015, said the atmosphere in Ghana is not conducive for musicians.
Reggie Zippy shared his worries about a video he chanced upon which sees one of his colleagues speaking about how dirty the music industry is.
He, therefore, advised his colleagues to quit doing music in Ghana and find something profitable doing than being a musician in Ghana.
His full post read;
“If you’re an upcoming Ghanaian music artist reading this post right now, I WANT YOU TO QUIT DOING MUSIC IN GHANA and go and learn a trade, go get some new vocational skills like Carpentry, Masonry, Hairdressing, Tailoring, or further your education in law, accounting, Engineering., Marketing or in Science.
Take my advice today and you will thank me in 10years time cuz apart from ARMED ROBBERY, doing music in Ghana is the 2nd most dangerous job you can ever do.
The GOVERNMENT doesn’t give a SHIT about you, GHAMRO will never work for YOU, Musigha is just for decoration and 99% of event organisers cannot pay you the thousands of dollars you expect now cuz they’re all bleeding especially after COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Please take my advice and go and find a proper job to do because most of your favourite celebrities are surviving by crazy means and unconventional strategies that you may not have the heart to endure.”
