Popular artiste manager cum blogger George Mensah Britton has fired back at rapper Edem for music strives on money and creativity, not talent.
George Britton who is also the former manager of Keche recently revealed in an interview on Joy Prime that the Ghana Music Industry would have died if not for the creativity and consistency of Shatta Wale, Sarkodie and Stonbwoy.
His comment sparked a lot of controversies in the music industry with many not agreeing to his opinion.
Edem who rapper George Britton in a lengthy Facebook post wrote; “George M. Britton some times u talk and I wonder if you really analyze before going on Pundit show..How can u say if three artiste leave an industry it would collapse…First of all creative industry thrive on money not talent..That’s why people without talent can blow with money..U claim y’all made 500k out of a signed contract but we no see nothing…..when the biggest financier left the business where most of the names u mentioned were signed it didn’t collapse..There are variables in showbiz.. 4syte can make another big name Charterhouse can give another act a platform. Don’t just dey get up and talk Cos them book you for show my g”.
Fast forward, George Britton who doubles as the owner of GB Interactive has replied the VRMG boss in a fiery manner.
According to him, Edem has all the potentials of the above listed artiste but sleeps too much on his art. He advised Edem to sit and analyze his growth as an artiste and stop lazying around.
He wrote; Interestingly, @iamedemgh who should know the color of TRUTH when spoken has taken upon himself to attack me with regards to my statement made on Joyprime official TV last Tuesday, that in recent times @Sarkodie, @shattawalenima Wale and @Stonebwoyb are the most relevant artistes in Ghana and without these 3 the industry will not be vibrant.
It’s funny how Edem, one of the finest Rappers on the continent doesn’t know this accession, How engaging has Edem been as a brand/artiste to his followers or fans, how often does he give them anything to talk about? Truth be told, Edem has the potentials all these 3 S has but u know what? He sleep too much.
Mr. Emotional Rapper, you should sit back and analyze your growth as an artiste n get back to work and stop displaying ur laziness in public. The media is ready to support any artiste who wants to work.
HAVE A GREAT DAY MY GEE GO’GETHEM!!! I AM STILL A FAN…
