In his view, Shatta\u2019s comments were unnecessary and alarming because there is a bigger battle they all need to fight which is how to promote Ghanaian music better. According to him, the most important thing is to support each other rather than unnecessary outbursts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel some of the things he said were unnecessary and alarming but I can understand where he is coming from in terms of us not getting the same support from our brothers and sisters in Nigeria.  But you know, he could have definitely put it better so I don\u2019t agree with him. All these are not necessary, there is a bigger battle. We need to support each other\u201d, Fuse said.  <\/p>\n<p>He announced a project part of which will see that new and young artists are signed in other to give them the maximum audience to survive in the music industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are signing new artistes, and then, I feel like we need more Ghanaians coming through and you know, in Nigerian, it\u2019s like every day there is a new artist coming through so for Ghana, we need that kind of support to be able to put an upcoming artist through that kind of channel so they can also have that kind of audience as well.
