Ghanaian musician Article Wan has sparked a conversation about the way artists are perceived in the entertainment industry, calling for a shift in focus from personal character to raw talent.

In an interview with DJ Slim on Hitz FM, he argued that the Ghanaian music industry needs to stop placing excessive emphasis on how artistes behave and instead channel energy into supporting their craft.

“Ghanaians are mostly into ‘respect.’ Everyone wants somebody to behave a certain way. I think it’s about time we forget about an artiste’s character and focus on pushing his talent regardless of his antics,” he stated.

Using dancehall star Shatta Wale as an example, Article Wan pointed out that his outspoken nature often overshadows his undeniable talent and work ethic. “Like my godfather Shatta Wale, he has a strong character.

But he is very hardworking and talented. Why not give him the necessary support? You look at many up-and-coming musicians, and they all say they want to be like Shatta. So I feel like we should forget about looking at an artiste’s character and focus on his talent,” he added.
