He emphasized that Kumasi musicians, including himself, are often the ones who support venues like Ridge Condos throughout the year, yet they are not given the opportunity to showcase their talent during major events.
“Whenever the celebrities or rappers in Kumasi get money, they come to Ridge Condos to spend it,” Oseikrom Sikanii pointed out. “But when it’s event time, we’re not called to perform or even grace the occasion. It’s like they don’t appreciate what we bring to the table.”

He pointed out that this pattern of snubbing local talent is not only disrespectful but also detrimental to the growth of the music scene in Kumasi.
