Once again, Ghanaians are showing that “Ghanaman attitude” that holds us back. The WashingBay Promoter, who gained massive recognition after Nigerian superstar Davido shared his video, finally got the spotlight—and he chose to use it to push Ghanaian music. But instead of support, what did he get? Complaints.
He began making more videos using Ghanaian songs, promoting local artists for free on a big platform. But some Ghanaians started whining: “It’s too much”, “Wo nso ɛyɛ”, “We’ve seen enough.” Really?
Where were these same people when Ghanaian artists were begging for exposure? Now that someone has taken the bold step to shine a light on them, you tell him to stop? This is exactly why Ghana struggles to grow in entertainment and many other areas—too much hate, too little support.
Nigerians would never do this. When one of their own makes it, they rally behind him. They repost, support, and push until the world knows their name. That’s how they win. But here? The moment someone rises, others want to drag them back down.
Let’s be real—Ghanaian artists need platforms like this. If we won’t promote our own, and someone finally decides to do it, why are we fighting him?
Until we change this crab-in-a-bucket mindset, we’ll keep watching others win while we stay stuck. It’s time to grow up and lift each other. The world is watching—and Ghana needs to do better.
