Ghanaian singer Sista Afia expressed surprise and disappointment when fellow artist Fancy Gadam was not present at her most recent occasion in Tamale. She talked about her efforts to put together the performance and her attempts to work with Macasio and Fancy Gadam, two well-known figures in the Tamale music scene who are known for their rivalry, in an interview.
Sista Afia connected with both artists to ensure a successful collaboration, despite the known rivalry. Macasio was forced to say no because he had already committed to another show. The management of Sista Afia met with Fancy Gadam and his crew to discuss a collaboration fee, which was first estimated to be approximately GH¢100,000. After discussions, Fancy Gadam agreed to accompany Sister Afia to the concert in exchange for a half of the initial cost.
What really transpired on the day of the event However, Fancy Gadam failed to show up on the day of the occasion. Additionally, all efforts to get in touch with him and his management failed, jeopardizing the success of the performance. Sista Afia emphasized the significance of performers such as Macasio and Fancy Gadam in drawing audiences to Tamale. She says she felt deflated by the low attendance as a result of their absence.
“Fancy and Macasio are the fans favorites in Tamale, and without any of them at your show, nobody is going to leave their house. The attendance was poor, and I felt I was sabotaged. He was very close to me; I know him personally, so I was obviously affected by what he did. The amount he charged me, his fellow artist, is outrageous, but my team was ready to pay immediately, but he just decided not to come." Said Sister Afia
Sista Afia, who is close friends with Fancy Gadam, expressed her disappointment with his actions and aired her complaints on the incident. After receiving a substantial reward for his involvement, Fancy Gadam has not expressed apologize for or offered a justification for his absence. This behavior humiliated Sista Afia. According to her, a industry that uses the creative arts to promote peace shouldn't accept such perspectives.
