President of the Creative Arts Council, Mark Okraku-Mantey, says his former lover jilted him years ago because he was a disc jockey (DJ).
He noted that disc jockeying at the time was not attractive or respected like it is now.
Due to his profession, his girlfriend at that time didn’t predict a good future for Okraku-Mantey.
“I lost a relationship because the person said I was a DJ and I wasn’t going to be someone better in the future,” he said on Hitz FM.
His comment comes after the massive attendance and reception witnessed at the 2020 Ghana DJ Awards held on Saturday, November 21.
The President of the Creative Arts Council urged DJs to position themselves well in the business arena to erase the perception that the DJs are hopeless.
“That’s why we have to do well to remove that aspect that it’s a hopeless job and for outcasts. We must beautify it so we can be proud like the footballers.”
“Today people want their kids to marry footballers but when we were young it wasn’t so,” he added.
