Rex Omar about most Ghanaian musicians

“I’ll advice any up and coming musician that until you start to making big money from music do something to support it on the side, otherwise you’ll get the name with no money to support it. Popularity with no money is a curse. As soon as you’re given a creative arts mind in this country if you don’t get somebody to advise you to do something in support, trust me, you’ll have a big name with nothing to support. Most of our artistes are just hyped they have no money, I can say 95% of Ghanaian artistes have no money. Very few of them will have GHC100,000 in their account. Yet, hype, hype … it’s showbiz so they have to show that they’re okay but at the end of the day they have nothing.”
