Veteran Ghanaian highlife musician Kofi Nti has opened up about the harsh realities many Ghanaian musicians face in the entertainment industry, particularly regarding their booking fees.<\/p>\n He revealed that the amounts they often receive from show promoters are far below their worth, underscoring a significant disconnect between their brand value and financial compensation.<\/p>\n Speaking during an interview with Fiifi Praat, Kofi Nti reflected on his own experiences. When asked whether he had ever been paid \u00a34,000 for a performance in the UK, he candidly admitted, \u201cI have never received such an amount.\u201d<\/p>\n His response sheds light on a broader issue, as he explains how promoters prioritize their profits over fairly compensating artists.<\/p>\n \u201cPromoters are more focused on recouping their investments, and this leaves very little for the artist. It\u2019s a tough situation,\u201d Kofi Nti remarked.<\/p>\n He also shared that private events and individual engagements often provide better paychecks for artists compared to larger, promoter-driven shows.<\/p>\n Private events are where we see substantial payments because those who invite us appreciate our craft and are willing to pay for it,\u201d he added.
