According to him, he can’t boast of anything after 15 years of doing music in Ghana, therefore, he won’t stoop so low to allow his sons and daughters to follow his regrettable steps.
“Ever since I started doing music, I haven’t seen any improvement in my life and also, it does not pay as much as people think it does and I wouldn’t want my children to experience that”.
Sharing his musical ordeal in the studios of Happy 98.9 FM with Doctor Cann he said, “As I speak, I’m not receiving a pesewa from all my songs on YouTube but someone else is benefiting from it. I tried fighting for what rightfully belongs to me with my management but all to no avail”.
The Highlife legend also furthered, “Some people even use my songs without my knowledge and if I approach them to pay me, it always turns out to be an issue so I always end up leaving the issue”.
Paa Solo shared that doing music and benefiting from it is not easy and is nothing he will want his children to experience even if they have the talent, “I will still not agree”, he repeated.
