Relatively, Edem, the boss of VRMG, expressed his displeasure about how some Ghanaians hire impersonators of famous musicians to perform at events.
There have been some individuals impersonating prominent Ghanaian musicians for a while, dressing up as lookalikes and occasionally playing their songs live at events.
This was initially thought to be not a big deal, but it appears that things are out of control as more and more people are hiring lookalike artists rather than the original performers.
As a result, Ewe rapper Edem attacked those using lookalikes for their programs on social media, as well as some bloggers who are promoting these lookalikes.
His post claims that although the artist worked very hard to put the words together for a song, promoters prefer to book impersonators who have done nothing while the actual artist who released the song is out there trying to make a living.
He posted: “What a “COUNTRY” u book a look alike to sing songs that someone toiled all their life to perfect as a craftsman and bloggers who posting for free are the same ppl who take money to promote those who worked hard demma products..SMH”
