Ghanaian rapper, Maradona Yeboah Adjei, popularly known as Guru has raised concerns about how Nigerian artistes do not go all out to support Ghanaian musicians even though that is exactly what Ghanaian artistes do.
In an interview on TV3's Showbiz 360, Guru said Ghanaian acts and music do not receive equal support from Nigerians despite the support shown to the Nigerian music industry by Ghanaians.
He pointed out that such a one-sided push was worrying and that there was a need for structured policies to help support acts from both countries.
“The rate at which Ghanaians promote Nigerian artistes should be the same energy vice versa. We believe in patriotism. It is about time we look at the bigger picture,” he said.
He further stated that “If we all can be on a bigger picture, that would be awesome. Even though we shoot quality videos, Nigerians do not promote them like the way we promote their music here”.
Currently, Guru has launched a ten-day street carnival to connect with fans after the long Covid-19 break.
He noted that the free carnival celebrates his ten years of music and entertaining his fans.
“It has been ten solid years of taking from the fans. It is about time we give back to them,” he said.

He also commended his colleagues for effortlessly putting up amazing shows this past year.
“We have been lacking this for so long, and now we host our own shows and our colleagues showing us the love is impressing. That’s the way to go,” Guru added.
