Nigerian artiste Joeboy has described Ghanaian language, especially Twi, "melodic".
According to him, the melodic nature of the language has contributed to its frequent use by Nigerian artistes in their songs.
Speaking on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, the Don't Call Me Back hitmaker who has used Twi in some of his songs said, “it is beautiful to listen to.”
Joe Boy stated listeners do not need to understand the context or meaning of a phrase or word used in a song to enjoy it.
“I personally like learning Ghanaian pidgin too,” he told Andy Dosty, host of the show.
The Empawa artiste also revealed that he likes listening to Ghanaian music adding that Nigerians usually are open to works of popular artistes from the country.
"I respect Ghanaian artistes a lot and listen to them a lot. Once a song is popular in Ghana, Nigerians will hear of it."
