Regarding the selection of songs performed by Ghanaian musicians, Ghanaians expressed a variety of viewpoints, and Kidi responded to them.
Dennis Nana Kwaku Dwamena popularly known as Kidi has said sampling people’s songs is part of music making.
Ghanaians offered a variety of opinions about the sampling of songs performed by Ghanaian musicians, and Kidi addressed such sentiments.
This follows the various criticisms that several Ghanaian musicians have had over the years for using other musicians’ tunes in their own songs.
On social media, people like Kuami Eugene, Mr. Drew, and Kidi have frequently been accused of sampling tunes.
Kidi contends that song sampling is an essential component of music production and that Ghanaians should be aware that local musicians are still skilled even when they occasionally use songs by other artists as samples.
Kidi claimed that even when he samples other people’s music, he also writes new melodies in conjunction with the original, making it likely that someone will sample one of his songs in the future.
Since he first entered the music business, Frank Afrane, also known as Okese1, has been forthright about the money he earns from his music.
It is believed that the rapper who gave Ghanaians “Na Today,” one of the most popular songs to go viral in Ghanaian history, is engaged in some dishonest practices.
Many believed that his extravagant lifestyle was driven more by his fraudulent activities than by his successful music career.
In an interview on the Uncut Show with the lifestyle & celebrity blogger Zionfelix, Okese1 hinted that he earns a sizable sum of money from his music brand.
He added that his appearances at local and international events and streams on digital music platforms result in significant benefits for him, which is likely what funds his opulent lifestyle.
