Emmanuel Essel Ackom, popularly known by the moniker JahLead has weighed in on the conversation of hypocrisy as one of the factors plaguing the Ghanaian music industry.
In an interview with Akorfa of 3fm 92.7 monitored by Ghanaweekend on 3fm Sunrise, he described his colleagues as hypocrites.
”When I say it is a whole lot, I mean there is too much hypocrisy. And that makes us not appreciate each other,” he lamented. This he says inspired the composition of his record – “Pretenders.”
“Do you know I have a song called Pretenders? This song sums up everything that is happening in the industry. Not only me but every artist knows this, and we have been crying for so long. “
The Lonely hitmaker also accused featured artists in the industry of not supporting collaborated songs. He said, “When you feature an artist, he does not even tweet about it his not doing anything about it. You feature an artist, and there is no support.”
“The future generations say that I am great and I accept it. And, not those that call themselves senior men or ahead of us or something. It’s the younger ones telling me you are a legend and you are great and influencing me. That alone is a bigger award for me.”
Jahlead is a songwriter, singer and police officer who has acknowledged the new generation for supporting his music journey and seeks more support for his music.
He encouraged all Ghanaians to support him on all his social media platforms at @Jahlead official. And buy his music on all music platforms to push his music worldwide.
