The Ghanaian rapper and singer Camidoh, maker of the hit 2022 single Sugarcane, opens up about PTSD in his new body of work called Love Is The Answer (L.I.T.A.).
“This really means a lot to me. I’ve been working on it for about two years, and these songs are talking about stuff I’ve been dealing with, especially track one, PTSD," Camidoh said.
"It’s talking about young people, young creative entrepreneurs trying to get things going, and then it’s like sad things come back to you in the middle of the night, your traumas come back to haunt you when no-one can hear you, when only you is dealing with it.”
Camidoh, 29, added that it is about authenticity and getting people on his side. If they see that you are human, then when you make a mistake they’ll cut you some slack, he said.
He also has another important message in his music - that people should embrace their natural beauty.
He said this was the inspiration for his song Brown Skin Girl, which is in collaboration with Stonebwoy.
"I’ve been preaching about people accepting themselves for who they are - our women, African women, accepting themselves for who they are," he said.
