Kweku Flick’s ‘support from home’ comment sparks social media debate

Ghanaian musician Kweku Flick has sparked debate on social media after expressing frustration over what he describes as a lack of support from the Ghanaian music industry.

The exchange has consequently reignited a familiar conversation about support, recognition and collaboration within Ghana’s creative industry, particularly the extent to which Ghanaian artistes receive backing from their peers and audiences at home.” Some users also criticised Kweku Flick for comparing local and international support, arguing that artistes should focus on building their audiences rather than making Ghanaians feel obligated to support their music.
