Asiedu Nketia must apologise to musicians - KK Fosu
Veteran contemporary High Life musician, Kwame
Kaakyire Fosu known in showbiz as K.K Fosu has
registered displeasure on comments made by the
General Secretary of the ruling National
Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia
and had effect asked him to apologise to the whole
musical board.

When the M.anifest and Sarkodie beef started,
some bloggers and reporters quoted him as saying,
the beef is a Tom and Jerry cartoon fight.

According to some reports, the NDC scribe
explained that “M.anifest the son of astute
lawyer Tsatau Tsikata is as intelligent as his
father, no two ways about it, the gentleman is an
intellectual, more than a mere rapper among his
peers and there is no way Opana who only brags can
compare himself to him even the deaf and dumb
knows that.”

However, days after the report, the politician on
a radio programme, denied making such comments and
indicated that he does not know the two artiste
and has not even heard their names before. He said
“What is called M.anifest . . . I don’t know
anyone by name Manifest and I don’t know anyone
by name Sarkodie too . . . I don’t know them . .
. is it the manifest they look on to write
people’s names for them to board planes or
what..?”

But denying knowledge about who Sarkodie and
M.anifest is, sounds a bit awkward to K.K. Fosu.

According to the high life genius, politicians
are just using musician for their personal gains.
When they want to talk to their people, they play
music before talking to them.

“It is a pity, this shows that, the job that we
are doing, we suffer a lot but at the end of the
day, you will see that when politicians are having
their campaign, it is music they play before they
talk, they’ve used musicians for a long time,”
he said.

According to K.K. Fosu, musicians have been
taking for granted, meanwhile when you go to other
countries, they hail their musicians and respect
them a lot.

He has therefore said that, Mr. Johnson Asiedu
Nketia can claim not to know the works of Sarkodie
and M.anifest but he should not deny not hearing
their name.

Meanwhile, Asiedu Nketia has mentioned that he is
not a fan of rap music.

“Have I not been telling you the kinds of music
I like, I love Adowa and Yaa Asantewaa kind of
music…the songs by Ampofo Adjei, Konadu and even
Reggae . . . if you want to know my friends then
they are Naa Konadu whose funeral I even attended,
Adofo and Amakye Dede,” he said.
