Renowned radio personality, Ruthy of Nhyira 104.5FM’s “Entertainment Power” show has ignited a heated debate in the music industry. During a recent broadcast, Ruthy made a bold statement, labeling KiDi, a popular Ghanaian artiste, as “lazy” when it comes to promoting his songs.
Ruthy compared KiDi’s approach to that of his counterpart, Kuami Eugene, stating that the latter is more aggressive and dedicated to pushing his music career. She attributed KiDi’s perceived laziness to his potentially privileged background, suggesting that he may not be “hungry” enough to succeed.
“KiDi comes from a comfortable home, so maybe he’s not as driven as Kuami Eugene, who has to work hard to make a name for himself,” Ruthy said.
This statement has sparked a mix of reactions from industry professionals, fans, and fellow artistes. Some have defended KiDi, citing his talent and achievements, while others have agreed with Ruthy’s assessment.
KiDi is yet to respond to Ruthy’s comments, but the debate has highlighted the importance of artiste promotion and the perceived differences in work ethics among Ghana’s music stars.
Ruthy’s statement has also raised questions about the role of background and motivation in an artiste’s success. While some argue that a comfortable upbringing can hinder an artiste’s drive, others believe that talent and dedication are the ultimate determinants of success.
