“Nigeria Has Lots Of Musical Stars, While Ghana Has Only Four Stars” – Michael Blackson

Michael Blackson has made a statement that Nigeria has an abundance of musical icons, unlike Ghana which has a manageable number of internationally renowned celebrities.

The Ghanaian-American comic backed up his claim by saying that he could only think of four Ghanaian music icons: Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, Sarkodie, and Black Sherif.

“Afrobeats is taking over the world I started my own management company ” Michael Blackson Management” and I have got one of my first ghana artistes Gambo,” he said.

According to Blackson, even though Ghana is the most popular tourist destination in Africa (the Dubai of Africa), Nigeria has already surpassed it as the continent’s center for afrobeat. He also announced his first act, Gambo, and declared that he would be the fifth-best Ghanaian music icon in the world during a conversation with the “Drink Champions” podcast.

He insisted;

Nigeria has all the artistes, I mean I could name ten (10) niggas from Nigeria that are stars like Davido, Wizkid Burnaboy, Tecno, Kizz Daniel, etc. is like the New York of music in Africa, and Ghana, on the other hand, is becoming like the Dubai of Africa I can only count about four people from Ghana like Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, Sarkodie, and Black Sherif. I want to make Gambo the fifth star and that’s why I signed him.
