"Honestly, it's sad how most people in the Ghanaian music and media fraternity rely on using artists when they are hot and then dumping them when they are not hot at the moment," Jamar lamented. "I know how it was when I had one of the biggest songs in the country and the favors I did for people."
Jamar's candid revelation speaks volumes about the exploitation and neglect that lurk behind the glitz and glamour of the industry. It's a reality where artists are valued not for their talent or artistry but for their momentary popularity, used as stepping stones to success by those in positions of power.
Behind the scenes, artists like Jamar pour their heart and soul into their craft, only to find themselves cast aside when their star begins to dim. The favors they once did for others are quickly forgotten, replaced by a deafening silence and a lack of support.
But amidst the despair, there's a flicker of hope. Jamar's voice joins a chorus of others calling for change, demanding an industry that values artists for their fleeting fame, humanity, and talent. It's a call to action for the Ghanaian music fraternity to recognize the contributions of artists beyond their moment in the spotlight and to provide them with the support and respect they deserve.
As music consumers, we can demand better treatment for artists and support platforms and initiatives that prioritize their well-being. Let's heed Jamar's cry and work towards creating a more compassionate and equitable industry where artists are valued not just for their hits but for the passion and dedication they bring to their craft, regardless of their momentary status in the spotlight.
