Ghanaian rapper Obibini has expressed his frustration with the state of the music industry, describing it as “fake” and unfair to artistes.

In an interview on Daybreak Hitz with Doreen Avio and Kwame Dadzie, the rapper said the insincerity of key players in the industry has stifled Ghanaian rap and sidelined talents like himself.

“The industry is fake, and I don’t know what they expect from an artiste before giving them their due,” he lamented.

Obibini added that it was insulting that he has never won an award in his career, despite being recognised with nominations. He recalled being nominated twice in the Best Rap Performance category at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards but losing on both occasions.

“I have had two nominations but I just feel like it is a way they just want to tap me on the back and go like ‘we see you’. But I mean it’s quite an insult for someone like me to be around now and then no award has been awarded to me. Because this is Obibini we are talking about. I am the Shakespeare of this thing,” he said.

The former Zylofon Music signee is known for songs such as The Statement, Let Me Know, Ahye Mefeaturing KiDi, The Dream, Balenciagas, Get A Life and Yes Dada.

He recently released a new single titled Have You Ever.
