I’m Now Struggling– Kofi Jamar Laments About Media Snub
Kumasi-based rapper, Kofi Jamar has expressed his disappointment with the media for neglecting him and not calling him up for interviews anymore to gain more exposure.
The Ekorso hitmaker, whose real name is Derrick Osei Kuffour Prempeh, emphasized that he has been used and dumped by the media in Ghana.
He revealed that the same media outlets that were eager to feature him on their platforms when he was popular have now turned their backs on him. He shared his frustration in a recent interview on Property FM,
Let me emphasize this, when Ekorso went viral and the song was everywhere and I remember when a lot of radio and TV stations were chasing me for interviews.
Every media house from left and right like we had to make time for all of them cos they’re media houses and personalities we respect them a lot.
And we wanted to establish a long-term relationship with them and here is the case where I don’t have a hit song like Ekorso at the moment.
He added, “I’m trying to go to those same radio stations and media houses for an interview now and it becomes hard for me, I think that’s where the problem comes from.
This industry is known for the fact that when you’re coming as a new artiste we have experienced gatekeepers who warn you to be careful of the industry cos if you don’t take care they’ll use you and dump you.”
