Ghanaian vocalist Yvonne Ohene Djan, also known as SHE, has disclosed that she did not receive any compensation for her contribution to the NPP song “Nana Ye Winner.”
SHE was the talented voice behind the infectious chorus of “Nana Nana ye winner” in the song, which was created by Daddy Lumba for Nana Akufo-Addo’s 2012 election campaign.
SHE shared in a recent interview on 3FM that she was originally in a hurry to catch a flight to the US. However, Lumba managed to convince her to stay and assist him with one final song.
“I never took money for the song, never. Even that day I was in a hurry. I had to leave for the States, but Lumba pleaded with me to wait and help him work on one last song. So I agreed,” she said.
She said she didn’t mind making a political song since she considers music as just music, no matter who the listener is, or the audience.
“It’s like radio, you can’t say that you won’t listen to the radio because you’re Christian or Muslim; radio is radio. Just like me, music is music. I enjoyed it,” she said.
SHE is known for being the voice behind many hit songs in Ghana across various genres, such as hiplife, highlife, reggae, and gospel.
She has worked with artists such as Daddy Lumba, Ofori Amponsah, Kwabena Kwabena, Samini, Becca and others.
