Hiplife star Opanka has spoken out on the shenanigans that go on behind the scenes concerning artists from Tema, despite the public pretense of camaraderie.
There is usually talks of a feud in Ghana music between stars from Accra and those from Tema, indicating both sides are pulling for their team. Opanka wants to disabuse fans of that notion.
According to him, backbiting and hatred is more common among Tema artists than love and working together.
“We are never real, we have never been real, there is no unity among Tema-based artistes.” he said on Ultimate Fm.
“The so called most humble artistes are not humble. They are never humble. We don’t like each other, everybody is cool with everybody, they act like they like each other. People don’t know what happens behind the scenes. Let’s keep it real,” he added.
Opanka, looking quite miffed, continued to rip on his fellow stars.
“Most musicians who come on stage and on air, they act like they are humble, they are liars, they are tigers, if fans know their real characters like they won’t just be hailing them. There is discrimination in the industry.
“They say big ups to this person and all that, people are opportunists, there is discrimination everywhere, sometimes they want to gain something from you, before they work with you, like a fan base before they will agree to do collaboration with you. Shrugging their shoulders, we help people who do not even need the platform, people who need platforms are rejected, if you are piping, flying, trending that is when people will be looking for you. They will tell you it’s a dope tune, when you tell them you want to feature them on the song, they will never offer help,”
