Young Ghanaian Artistes Refused To Attend Jewel Ackah’s Funeral — Gyedu-Blay Ambolley

Highlife legend, Gyedu Blay Ambolley expresses his displeasure at the young crop of musicians again.

Moreover, his displeasure stems from the fact that the young crop of musicians refuse to attend the funerals of older artistes. However, they jump in their numbers to attend funerals of younger artistes.

Furthermore, Ambolley made these same complaints during the funerals of Paapa Nyankson and CK Mann’s funeral.

He made his sentiments when speaking in an interview with Graphic Showbiz.

Gyedu Blay-Ambolley on young musicians not attending Jewel Ackah’s funeral

“It does not sit right to have a funeral of such a big legend and not see the young generation of musicians around.

“Jewel Ackah for so many years, entertained people in their homes, cars, offices, markets and everywhere. So if that person who gave us that sort of entertainment is no more, the least we can do is to accord him our last respect by showing up at his funeral.

“Ghana belongs to all of us and each one of us contributes in one way or the other. We don’t have to wait for one person to die before eulogising him or her.

“We need to sit up as a people. If we do not come together and forge ahead as a team, we will remain divided.”
