Over the years, many creatives have bemoaned that many Ghanaians prefer foreign content instead of supporting their own.<\/p>\n
However, the narrative is changing in 2024 as popular Ghanaian artiste Mr Drew has expressed his appreciation for the increasing support of Ghanaian music. <\/p>\n
Speaking exclusively to GhanaWeb\u2019s Isaac Dadzie, Mr Drew noted the massive crowds at many shows held by artistes as well as many Ghanaian songs leading streaming platforms.<\/p>\n
When asked if this indicates that Ghanaians are finally beginning to support their own, the \u2018E Choke\u2019 hitmaker replied, \u201cYeah, I think that it’s about time. We are there for the people. All we need is their support and their love, and then we go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Drew emphasized that while the support is not yet at its peak, it is steadily improving. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s not there yet. But it’s getting better,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
The artiste said this at the Fameye Family Concert hosted by Highlife artiste Fameye on December 20, 2024, in Accra. <\/p>\n
The event saw a host of up-and-coming as well as top-notch artistes including KiDi, Sista Afia, Eno Barony, Ras Kuuku, Kofi Mole, and Fameye himself tantalize the massive crowd with their hit songs.<\/p>\n
Speaking on his reasons for joining, Mr Drew noted that it was a form of support for his colleague and friend, Fameye.<\/p>\n
We’re all supporting each other. We came to support Fameye, and it’s an amazing vibe. I love the setup, everything,” he said.<\/p>\n
He noted that it was not easy to set up such an event financially; thus, Fameye needs all the support he could get.<\/p>\n
“Most of the time, the money comes from our own pockets. But it’s all about our love for the fans and for the work.” <\/p>\n
