Camidoh is lashing out at critics who claim he is deliberately sounding like a Nigerian to penetrate the Nigerian music industry.
The ‘Sugarcane’ singer was speaking in an interview with Joy Prime’s Noella Kharyne Yalley who asked,” a lot of people say you sound so Nigerian what are your thoughts about it?” and Camidoh replied that “it’s their opinion, for which they’re entitled to“.
“With time, people will get to understand that we were never meant to be just Ghana. We were meant to be Africa. I’m Ewe, if I chose to go by that mentality, I’ll be doing music solely in Ewe. And if we think like that, then we will be encouraging boundaries,” he added.
Defending his creative freedom to create music in the best way he cam, he continued tha, “it’s 2022, and a time the world is trying to be one.
So if we’re going to sit here and allow Nigerians, South Africans, come to Ghana, borrow our words, make music with it, and we jam to it, yet when we (Ghanaian musicians) borrow their words and make music with it, we (Ghanaians) criticize it, then we’ve erred. So whoever thinks that I’m shining in the shadows of another country, it’s a shallow way of looking at things.”
