In the last couple of years, some celebrities have invested in other businesses to increase their revenue streams.
Hammer, for instance, became Head of Sales and Marketing as well as equity stakeholder & partner of A1 Bread company in 2017. Hammer was initially tasked with the rollout and marketing activation of the company’s Accra operations and since then the enterprise has seen tremendous growth as it has become a household name. The CEO of A1 bread has also begun international operations in the USA.

While actresses Salma Mumin and Lucky Lawson own eateries, rapper Reggie Rockstone is famed for his waakye in a jar.
“Most artistes do not realise that they are a business. Their brand is a vessel that can move anything and it pleases me to know that some of these artistes are actually realizing it,” said Hammer.
