Adjetey Anang, a well-known Ghanaian actor known for his remarkable accomplishments in the film and entertainment industry, released his memoir on Saturday, July 8, 2023, to commemorate his 50th birthday in a big way. In a recent interview on Midday Live on TV3, he discussed his thoughts on the unfavorable feedback he has received.
“It was expected, I knew that people will go the way they were going. I find it as such an irony because I’ve heard so many people criticize the West for painting Africa in all those negativity and now we are doing a bit worse,” he shared.
“So we have no right to condemn them or judge them if we are doing that to ourselves because our focus is mainly sensationalizing whatever we put out there and negating what without looking at the positives that would happen in our lives,” he added.
The performer known as Pusher bemoaned Ghanaians’ propensity to pick up on a word or phrase without fully knowing its significance.
He gave examples of times when his memoir’s words had been misinterpreted, resulting in misunderstandings and subsequent unfavorable interactions.
