Ghanaian rapper Okyeame Kwame has called on His Excellency, Nana Akufo-Addo to help build some alliance between artistes, content creators, and technology.
Okyeame believes this move will help people in the creative space earn more from their craft.
Speaking in an interview on 3FM, Okyeame Kwame pleaded with the president to also emulate some of the initiatives implemented in Kenya.
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta recently directed the Ministry of Sports, Culture, and Heritage to set aside Ksh.100 million to cushion local artistes from the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Okyeame also asked the government to provide an incentive for people in the creative space for the future “since we can’t all come together to perform openly for now”.
“That is a way you get your entertainment and get to support the creatives financially. Artistes can come in and have the Patch Bay Band play for them at a minimum fee,” he added
