Award-winning recording act, Darryl Bannerman Martin, popularly known as Joey B, has said that given the opportunity, he will change some people associated with the Ghanaian music industry.
Joey B made this revelation in an interview with Foster Romanus on e.TV Ghana’s ‘The Late Nite Celebrity Show.
He maintain that; “I will change the humans in the industry if I am asked to effect changes in the music industry.”
According to him, individuals and major players in the music industry always speak and preach
about supporting artistes in the industry but that is not the reality.
“Even those who support these artistes do not do so wholeheartedly. Some musicians are afraid that those they support and push out there will outdo them and make it more than they have underlying the lack of support in the music industry in Ghana,” he said.
Ghanaian musician, Joey B has finally revealed why he sometimes parks his own cars and use public transport popularly called ‘Trotro’.
The ‘Tonga’ hitmaker was spotted aboard a ‘trotro’ days ago and videos of him in the car went haywire.
Many even began to speculate that he was using a commercial vehicle because he is broke.
But Joey B has refuted claims that he is broke enough to resort to the use of ‘Trotro’
He has addressed the issue in an exclusive interview on Enatomy live show on Class Fm with Barima Amoaning. He stated that, being in the limelight doesn’t prevent him from using a public transport.
According to the ‘U X Me’ crooner, he is learning humility by doing so.
He explained that he is from a humble background, and the fact that he is a celebrity now doesn’t mean he is above anyone picking ‘trotro’.
Joey B revealed that the news report that he was on board a commercial vehicle went really far. This, he said made a lot of people call to verify from him if all was well with him.
“I was really shocked when the news came out that I was broke and so boarding ‘trotro’. People called me; even my uncle called and was like Kwesi is everything okay with you? But the truth behind my picking trotro is that I was trying to portray something. I remember at a point in time when things were not all that rosy and my sister and I were picking trotro to school.” It was a norm; my dad who is a graduate and a very nice man was picking trotro that means he was very humble. So I learnt from that, hey I need to teach people how to be humble; I can never be broke,” he said.
He urged all his fans to get his latest single ‘Nsa’. The official music video for the song is also currently trending on Youtube.
