One of Ghana’s finest music duo and pioneers of Hiplife, Akatakyie has said that they had nothing to show for all their years of hard work characterized by hit after hit songs.
The veteran musicians suggested the fruit of their labor was harvested by their greedy management team while they were renting a compound house and had no cars to match their fame.
In a recent interview on the ‘Ahosepe Xtra’ show, the duo made up of Prince Kwabena Asumaning and Ebenezer Kwasi Okyere Asumaning who make up the group that treated Ghanaians to hit after hit songs back in the days said,
“Trust me; we made Odo Asisi Me, Anwene Pa Nkasa while we were still living in somebody’s compound house without a car, management, nothing. In terms of money, we made a big hit, and management was supposed to see to it that we are comfortable,” they stated.
They urged management teams to ensure that their artists are always comfortable with all needed support to help their careers.
“When a Management team gets an artist and the artist becomes popular, they should not expect the artist to be at the same place, when you do that you kill the artist. The artist has a spirit within and it’s the same spirit that he is using in his work, expecting that the level he has gotten to should be measured by his songs,” they indicated.
