Rapper M.anifest, officially known as Kwame Tsikata says he despises the unhealthy comparison of Ghana and Nigeria music.
According to him, African artistes have a common continental goal to push their music globally.
“We have a pan-African movement moving now and that’s very important, we’re a very integral part of a pan-African movement that is going global and to see ourselves in competition with other people who are part of us is needless,” he said in an interview with Joy News.
He made these comments during a private listening session of Nigerian singer, Patoranking’s ‘World Best’ album on September 3, 2023.
“I despise the comparisons, I will say it again, I despise the comparison because we are in the same boat,” the rapper said.
The ‘god MC’ encouraged his fellow artists to be united and figure out how to promote and expand the industry creatively and commercially over shores instead of competing among one another.
“At the end of the day let’s just put in work,” the rapper said.
M.anifest also commended Patoranking for the good work and for featuring about 20 Ghanaian artistes in his career.
The musician revealed that his fans should anticipate an upcoming album from him.
Nigerian musician, Patoranking, held an intimate listening session with music executives, media personnel, and fans in Ghana on Sunday, September 3.
The upcoming album ‘World Best’ features artists from across the world, including Ludacris, Ghana’s Gyakie, Beenie Man, Vict0ny, among others.
