Jupitar, a Ghanaian dancehall act, is calling for Ghanaian acts to be given the same love and support in Nigeria as Ghanaian media and fans do for Nigerian artists.
“Imagine Nigeria media embracing our culture like we do to theirs, booking us for shows like we do for them, only the demon won’t agree to this ..,” he said. “We need equal love and acknowledgment, not for Ghanaian musicians alone but to Africa as a whole,” he added.
Jupitar’s remarks follow the Nigerian-Ghana controversy sparked by Shatta Wale. During Shatta Wale and Medikal’s ‘Freedom Concert’ on December 25, the dancehall artiste said, “Do you know that the majority of people in the Ghana music industry are fools… they told me that I won’t be able to fill my stadium?”
Speaking to his teeming fans, he continued that “I don’t look up to any stupid Nigeria artiste I look up to my fans. Fuck Nigeria”. His comment sparked outrage among Nigerians on social media.
