According to him, Obour gave the money out to these artistes as a loan but it was never retrieved.

He mentioned Okyeame Kwame, Bessa Simons, Ben Brako and TiC as some of the artistes who allegedly received the money.

“There is nothing there helping the up and coming musician, nothing. And so it’s affecting the upcoming, it like each for himself,” he added.
