Ghanaian Musicians Are Not Smart – RudeBoy of P-Square Fame
A video which has since gone viral has caused tongues wagging on social media
about RudeBoy, the other half of Psquare.
The video show RudeBoy, one half of the now-defunct successful Nigerian Pop
Music group P-Square, lambasting Ghanaian musicians.
According to him Ghanaian musicians have are not smart enough when it comes to doing
music, unlike they the Nigerian artistes.
The video shows RudeBoy in the studios of WGHC Radio in Chicago – USA, as he was
presumably on the promotion of his solo project.
He was asked to share his opinion on the cold reception of two Ghanaian Artistes of the
Year- Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale- by Nigerian music fans, days prior to his interview.
The Nigerian star did not hold back his assessments of Ghanaian music stars at all.
The multi-talented singer downplayed the popularity and relevance of the Zylofon
Music signees who have won several local and international awards.

In Ghana, reggae/dancehall rivals Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale are considered musical
immortals with their massive fanbase, but according to Rudeboy, they have zero
relevance where he comes from.
The Nigerian superstar reserved special praise for Sarkodie and called him the best Ghanaian
artiste but said that all the others were experiencing irrelevance outside Ghana because
Ghanaian artistes and music often follow a trend and stagnates with it while Nigerian music
creates a trend, recycles the best from other industries and continues to add value to
newer innovations.
“Nigerians we’re too sharp…most of the sounds you’re talking about they come
from you guys [Ghanaians], if you’re not sharp enough Niger we’re sharper.”
“They are just doing the same thing without developing…they focus on just one
thing and stay there. Everyone [in ghana] does the same thing, [but nigerians] we develop something and before you catch up, we are gone…,” he said.
