He complained Saturday they would rather play Nigerian or dancehall songs in a broadcast interview.

He told Accra FM’s Entertainment Capital that his new single, Kyei Baffour, is supposed to be an instant hit but it is not getting the needed airplay.

“Highlife is not thriving like hip life and dancehall because of DJs and radio presenters,” he said, adding that: “Last week I had an interview in a radio station in Kumasi and while waiting, the DJ was playing Nigerian songs instead of my songs. It doesn’t make sense.”

Speaking on a wide range of issues affecting the music industry, the Mehia Odo hit maker said he feels Ghanaians don’t appreciate his music.

He said: “We [Ghanaians] don’t really appreciate good music. If not that, then it’s me as an artiste that people don’t appreciate. Ghanaians are not appreciating Kwaisey Pee as an artiste.

“I don’t think I’m at the height I’m supposed to be. I have been in the industry for a decade and so looking at the time I started up until now, I think I have to be at the point where if I organise a show there should be a full house with an overflow, but that is not the case. So because of that, I feel Ghanaians are not appreciating me as an artiste and the music I do.”
