Ghanaian singer Efya has addressed the recent controversy surrounding her and R2bees’ absence during Wizkid’s international performances. The issue came to light when Bullgod, owner of Bullhaus Entertainment, expressed concern over not seeing the Ghanaian artists on stage with Wizkid during his recent show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, despite their close bond with the Nigerian musician.
Bullgod Wrote –“So R2Bees and Efya will smoke, drink and chill with Wizkid anytime he’s in Ghana but can’t join him on international stages and showcase their talents to the world? Again Ghana missed out on national duties at the 62,850 capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, yesterday. What is wrong with us?” Bullgod shared on Facebook and Efya took to Twitter to provide some insight into the complexities of musicians’ schedules and commitments.
In her series of tweets, Efya clarified that there are various factors involved when it comes to performing on big stages, particularly for international shows. Conflicting schedules, prior commitments, and logistical constraints sometimes make it challenging for artists to accompany their colleagues on every single performance. Efya emphasized that these challenges do not diminish her dedication or the fact that she has performed on countless international stages before.
“I have a multifaceted career that encompasses my own music, projects, and obligations. While I value my friendship and artistic connection with Wizkid, I also have my own aspirations and commitments in the music industry,” Efya tweeted. “It is essential to strike a balance and prioritize professional growth and individual endeavors.”
The singer went on to explain that Ghanaian artists frequently spend quality time with Wizkid whenever he visits Ghana, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they can be present at all his international performances. She highlighted the importance of understanding the intricacies of the music industry and the various factors that can influence an artist’s decision to participate in a particular event.
“It is disheartening to be ridiculed based on misunderstandings and assumptions,” Efya expressed on Twitter. “I hope this thread provides clarity and sheds light on the intricacies of the music industry. Let us focus on celebrating each other’s achievements rather than perpetuating unnecessary controversies.”
As the conversation continues to evolve, it serves as a reminder that the music industry is not without its complexities. Artists often face demanding schedules and have to make difficult decisions about which opportunities to pursue. Efya’s response sheds light on these realities, urging everyone to be more understanding and supportive of one another’s career choices.
