‘Getting Davido was less stressful’ – Osama compares Nigerian musician to Ghanaian artistes

A prominent hotelier and event organizer widely known on social media as Osama has broken his silence regarding his successful booking of Nigerian music superstar Davido for an upcoming concert. The announcement recently generated significant online buzz after videos circulated confirming that the African music giant would perform at his hotel in Manso on November 15, 2026. The development prompted widespread curiosity among netizens, many of whom questioned how the organizer managed to secure the Nigerian heavyweight, especially given his previous publicized dealings and attempts to book top-tier Ghanaian musicians for similar events.

Speaking in an interview on Angel FM that was widely shared across social media platforms on November 12, 2026, the organizer clarified that securing the Afrobeat star was far less stressful and difficult than the public had speculated. He explained that while booking any major international act naturally requires considerable effort and persistence, his consistent follow-up eventually convinced the artiste’s team of his genuine intentions. Addressing widespread industry rumors about the Nigerian star’s temperament, he dismissed the notion that the musician was difficult to work with. He noted that the information he initially received suggested the star was a troublesome person, but his direct interactions revealed a completely different reality, describing the superstar as an exceptionally humble individual who was professional throughout the negotiation process.

The most striking aspect of the revelation was his direct comparison between the financial demands of local musicians and the Nigerian superstar. He claimed that several homegrown Ghanaian artistes demand significantly higher performance fees than what the international star is charging for the Manso concert. This assertion has sparked considerable debate within the local entertainment industry, where local acts are frequently criticized by event organizers for pricing themselves out of the domestic market while international acts sometimes offer more competitive rates for regional tours. Concluding his remarks, the hotelier expressed his hope for a safe and successful event, emphasizing that his primary motivation was to create an entertainment experience that would benefit the entire community and boost local tourism.
