Ghanaian rapper Kwesi Arthur has stated that he prioritizes his health and safety over the possibility of making more money as it is only someone that is alive that can enjoy the money that has been made. 

He made his claims on the back of the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic as he stated that safety comes before moneymaking as the world battles the deadly pandemic. The rapper, who is currently locked down in his home said staying safe is very important now than chasing money.

In a Skype interview with Anita Akua Akuffo on Covid-19 360 on TV3, the rapper said the pandemic has affected most of his plans. He said: “I was supposed to go for some festivals and some events but because of this I couldn’t go; that is losing out on money and stuff but I would rather stay safe than make money,”

Using his social media platforms, the rapper noted that, he has been urging his fans to stay safe and adhere to strict hygienic practices, including constantly washing their hands. Kwesi Arthur, who is out with a new song, ‘Turn On The Lights’, also used the interview to educate his fans and Ghanaians in his native Fante language.
