You Don’t Support Creative Arts; Why The High Expectation? – A Plus

Ghanaian musician, A Plus joins the debate on poor standards of local movies. This is after Gabby Otchere-Darko, a senior government official criticized the movie industry.

Furthermore, he suggested to Gabby to encourage the NPP to pay the deserved royalties to musicians anytime they play songs at campaign rallies. .

Moreover, he wondered why Mr Otchere-Darko would demand quality from a sector which does not get any support from governments including the ruling Akufo-Addo administration.

A Plus’ response to Gabby Otchere Darko

“Somebody should tell Gabby Otchere Darko that the only way creative arts will be part of Ghana beyond aid is when government seeks permission from copyright owners like the owner of this song and pay her before using it to promote a political agenda. You don’t support creative arts in any way yet you wonder why it’s below your expectation. You just take people’s song and use it.

“If government is doing this why won’t individuals do same? They will go and find her and give her some two thousand to say “Kwame A Plus is lying. They paid me before.” hahahahahahahahahahaha. Gospel artiste (Patience Nyarko) hoping to go to heaven can’t lie. ”
