Ghanaian artiste, David Oscar, had advised Ghanaian artistes to focus on the international stage instead of aiming to thrive locally.

The one-time comic star outlined the issues that plague most Ghanaian artiste. He stated that most musicians limit themselves to Ghana instead of aspiring for global recognition despite the numerous opportunities that are available outside of Ghana.

“We are still in the Stone Age, aren’t we? Thankfully we have social media in our day. The same thing that the likes of Nana Kwame Ampadu and all these artists of times past didn’t have.

“So I will say to young artists in this market that don’t look too much to Ghana, the world is bigger than Ghana.

“Do your work and target the word? If you are diligent enough and you are patient enough you can make some inroads,” he said.

He also, in the same breath, spoke on the issue of polygamy while promoting his new hit single "Frenemies".

“In my society as I have seen, people frown on people with multiple women, however, when the man in question somehow happens to be rich, it’s a different story and they will give you references now.

“So shouldn’t the conversation be that young men should aspire to make money so that you can support a lot more of our sisters?

“Because if you look at the numbers, as it stands, I think that in Ghana the women are more than the men. That means if we are to split I will get like 12 women.”
