Tema-based rapper, Dadie Opanka has added his voice to calls on Ghanaian leaders to implement swift policies to cushion ordinary citizens who are being affected by the country’s current economic challenges amidst the rising cost of goods and services.
Opanka told in an interview with Xzone’s Jay Kojo Daasebre (JKD) said the general rising cost of food and other essentials has made it difficult for him to make a living as a musician.
“Mostly I write songs from my heart. Everyone is going through a lot. Things are tough these days. The street isn’t easy for us. The price of fuel, Dollar is increasing at an incredible rate. The prices of goods and services go up but salaries remain the same”, he said.
According to Opanka, people run to you for financial support when you are popular, though you can’t satisfy everyone.
“When you’re popular, people come to you for financial help. You can’t satisfy everyone who comes to you for such assistance” he added.
Opanka, who has been in the music industry since 2010, is a rapper, performer, poet, composer, and songwriter.
After becoming famous because of a viral freestyle he made of Bradez’s song “Simple,” he released the official track “Obiaa Ne Ni Taste,” which also became a success, and he is still the only Ghanaian to have the Most Popular Freestyle Cover.
