Obibini Obibini

Obibini, a rap artist known as David Kwaku Effum Boafo, criticized the government for neglecting the music industry's economic potential.

Speaking on Property FM in Cape Coast, he urged governmental involvement to capitalize on music's profitability, similar to Nigeria, America, and the UK.

Emphasizing the need for substantial investment, Obibini highlighted issues like inadequate support for musicians, particularly concerning royalties and healthcare for veterans.
