Renowned Ghanaian Reggae Dancehall artiste, Samini Dagati, has confidently asserted that with the appropriate financial backing, he possesses the capacity to draw a sold-out crowd at the O2 arena.
During an exclusive interview on TV3’s Day Show, the renowned singer expressed his confidence in being able to draw a capacity crowd at the O2 Arena in London. He emphasized that this ambitious feat would be achievable through strategic investments and an extensive promotional campaign spanning 4 to 6 months.
“By myself, I will fill it with the right investment. You are talking to Batman who became Samini. You are talking to Batman the MOBO award winner. If the right things are put in place and you promote Samini in London for 4 months, six months, 3 months, I will fill that space.” He stated.
Additionally, Samini emphasised that, the Nigerian government have made conscious efforts to change the narrative about the name Nigeria and it wouldn’t be fair to draw comparisons between Ghanaian artists and their Nigerian counterparts when it comes to music.
He stated: “There was this rumour that there was a conscious effort by the Nigerian government and other private institutions to change the narrative about the name Nigeria. I represent Ghana and I don’t want you to tell me because I represent Ghana, and I’ve reached the brim and a Nigerian artiste is doing his thing all of a sudden, I should be like him otherwise I’ve not reached. No, It’s not a fair comparison.”
