Ghanaian musician Kweku Flick has sparked debate on social media after expressing frustration over what he describes as a lack of support from the Ghanaian music industry.

The Money hitmaker made the comments on X after sharing a video of Ugandan content creator Tenge Tenge using his latest song, Frangō.

Expressing his appreciation, Kweku Flick wrote: “Sometimes the support you expect from home comes from somewhere else. Tenge Tenge, my brother, thank you for the genuine love. The people of Ghana know FRANGŌ is a Big record!! But somehow the support from outside is louder than the support from home. Huge song.”

The post, made on 10th August at about 6:19 p.m., has since garnered more than 1.3 million views on X.

His comments were subsequently quoted by fellow Ghanaian musician Yaw Tog, who appeared to agree with Kweku Flick, further fuelling the conversation online.

However, his comments have received mixed reactions, with some social media users questioning his claim that the song is receiving more support from outside Ghana.

Popular YouTuber Headless YouTuber was among those who challenged the assertion. He shared a throwback video in which he broke down one of Kweku Flick’s songs, captioning it: “They called to ask how much I’ll charge for Breakdown. I said ‘Oh Kweku Flick be my guy. Just send me the link when it’s ready.’ Today, Tenge Tenge dey support pass Ghanaians. Frangōōōō.”

Some users also criticised Kweku Flick for comparing local and international support, arguing that artistes should focus on building their audiences rather than making Ghanaians feel obligated to support their music.

Others, however, defended the musician, saying his comments highlight a genuine concern about the level of support among Ghanaian creatives. They argued that local artistes and industry players should do more to promote and celebrate Ghanaian music.

Released last month, Frangō takes its title from the Latin word meaning “I break” and explores themes of resilience and overcoming obstacles. The song was released alongside a cinematic music video and is believed to be part of the build-up to Kweku Flick’s upcoming album.

The exchange has consequently reignited a familiar conversation about support, recognition and collaboration within Ghana’s creative industry, particularly the extent to which Ghanaian artistes receive backing from their peers and audiences at home.

Kweku Flick, born Andy Osei Sarfo, rose to prominence with his 2020 hit Money and has since established himself as one of the notable voices of Ghana’s new generation of musicians.
