Lyrical Joe, an award-winning rapper born Joseph Gamor, asserts that Ghanaian artists possess the potential to create a significant global influence if the same level of investment dedicated to football is channelled into the music industry.
He suggests that by redirecting the substantial financial resources currently allocated to football, the music industry could flourish and reach unprecedented heights.
“Of course we can win the Grammys and make more impact with that kind of resources and it’s evident not like anyone is lying or anything else,” he told Cape Coast-based Radio Presenter Amansan Krakye
He stated that the reason most Ghanaians feel hurt and disgruntled in the Black Stars whenever they lose is due to the huge amounts the government disburses to them.
“The amount that is spent by the government on football to sponsor all these things, the same amount is not spent by the government on music.
Maybe the musicians themselves spend that amount on their music but the government doesn’t spend that colossal amount on us,” he revealed
“That’s why people get hurt or the country will be affected when we lose in a competition like that because this money is not child’s play money.
