Ghana-Nigeria music comparisons are needless! – Manifest fumes

Ghanaian rapper and singer, Kwame Tsikata, popularly known as Manifest has said that he despises the comparison of Ghana and Nigeria music because it is irrelevant.

He explained that African artists have a common objective of supporting and promoting artists in the continent to push their music globally.

According to him, the Pan-African movement agenda being embarked on by African countries frowns upon internal rivalry among nations in the continent.

Speaking in an interview with JoyNews during a private listening session of a Nigerian singer, Patoranking’s ‘World Best ’ album on September 3, 2023, Manifest called on African artists to desist from internal rivalry.

“I despise the comparisons, I will say it again, I despise the comparison because we are in the same boat,” the rapper said.

He emphasized the need for Africans to stick together and support each other rather than the internal rivalry which creates disunity.

“We have a pan-African movement moving now and that’s very important, we’re a very integral part of a pan-African movement that is going global and to see ourselves in competition with other people who are part of us is needless,” he said.

The ‘god MC’ entreated his colleague artists to be united and focus on promoting and expanding the industry creatively and commercially over shores instead of challenging one another.

He added, “At the end of the day let’s just put in work.”
