Showbiz in Ghana does not really pay as much as it should. There are a lot of famous people running around this country who do not have the wealth to match their fame.
This is not even a case of us being critical, many people in the industry themselves have admitted to it, from Kwaku Manu to E.L and others.
It’s only social media which makes some of these celebrities look rich, in real life things are not so rosy.
In that vein, Kofi Kapito, the CEO of the Consumer Protection Agency, recently said that no musician in Ghana can boast of having even $200,000 in their bank accounts.
“I don’t think these Ghanaian musicians can even boast of a bank account of $200,000. Music is not all about singing but it entails a lot. In Ghana, our musicians are good when it comes to recording good music but what comes after you’re done with the records is what matters and they lack that,” he said on Morning Zoo.

However, one half of the duo Keche, Joshua, has revealed that he personally knows of three Ghanaian musicians who can boast of more than $200,000 in their bank accounts.
In a chat with Daybreak Hitz, he named Shatta Wale, Sarkodie and Medikal as 3 artists who can boast of more cash than Kofi Kapito is claiming.
“I can tell you that my brother Shatta Wale has more $200,000 in his account, my brother Sarkodie has more than $200,000 in his account and my brother Medikal has more than $200,000 in their account because I have seen it with my eyes,” he said.
