Great Osama Fires Back at Critics Over GH¢7 Million Davido Booking Fee

Ghanaian businessman and self-proclaimed Galamsey King, Great Osama, has responded to critics questioning his decision to spend GH¢7 million on booking Nigerian music superstar Davido for a private performance instead of using the money to address poor road conditions in his community.

Great Osama reportedly paid GH¢7 million, approximately $600,000, as a booking fee for Davido to perform at his 60-room hotel on November 15, 2026.

The reported payment has generated considerable public discussion, particularly among residents and social media users who believe the businessman could have channelled the money into improving infrastructure in Manso Akwasiso, where poor road conditions have reportedly remained a concern.

Some critics have questioned why such a substantial amount would be committed to securing a musical performance when communities continue to struggle with inadequate roads and other basic infrastructure challenges.

However, Great Osama has pushed back against the criticism, making it clear that he does not believe anyone has the authority to dictate how he should spend his personal wealth.

His response has further intensified the debate, with Ghanaians expressing different opinions about the responsibilities of wealthy individuals towards the communities in which they live and operate their businesses.

While some have defended his right to spend his money according to his personal preferences, others argue that individuals with significant financial resources should consider supporting development projects that directly benefit people in their communities.

The controversy has also raised broader questions about private wealth, philanthropy and the role of government in providing essential infrastructure.

Meanwhile, attention is expected to remain on Davido’s scheduled November 15 performance, which has already generated significant public interest because of the reported booking fee.

The debate continues over whether Great Osama’s spending decision should be viewed purely as a personal financial choice or an opportunity to contribute to local development.
