Ghanaian musician Efya has admitted that Ghanaian musicians cannot match their Nigerian counterparts when it comes to financial strength. <\/p>\n
Speaking during an interview with Nana Romeo on Accra FM, Efya was addressing why Ghanaian artistes rarely make lavish public giveaways like their Nigerian peers. <\/p>\n
The conversation was triggered by Nigerian musician Davido, who recently gifted a Ghanaian fan $5,000 for promoting his song \u201cWith You,\u201d which features Omah Lay. <\/p>\n
Efya explained that while Ghanaian artistes also support their fans in various ways, they usually prefer to do so privately. <\/p>\n
According to Efya, she has personally helped fans by paying school fees and giving out gifts. However, she admitted she has never given out an amount as huge as $5,000 to a fan. <\/p>\n
She pointed out that, although Ghanaian artistes may rock shoulders with Nigerians, there is a clear gap when it comes to financial capacity. <\/p>\n
\u201cMost Ghanaian artistes do give their fans money, but they just don\u2019t like to bring it to the public attention. We don\u2019t have enough money like the Nigerians to be able to engage in such giveaways. Even though we rock shoulders with the Nigerians, I don\u2019t think financially it is the same, I don\u2019t mind admitting that,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
Efya further explained that the disparity largely stems from the fact that Nigerian artistes are paid more because they perform at bigger shows across the world. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t get paid the same way they get paid because they are playing bigger shows,\u201d she stated. <\/p>\n
She used the platform to advocate for more industry support, stating that greater collaboration and backing could help Ghanaian artistes access bigger platforms and earn more. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhich is why we need to support each other more so that we can get on bigger platforms to be able to be collecting enough money so we can be dashing our fans 5000,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n
