Ghanaian highlife musician, Lucky Mensah, has revealed that relying solely on his music career is not enough to earn him and his family a living.

According to the ‘Brofre Nie’ singer, a lot of musicians and celebrities have become poor because they feel too big to venture into other jobs that could augment their income streams.

He told Graphic Showbiz that to avoid being poor, he has decided to venture into bread business which is earning him quite good money.

“I currently bake bread in my house and take it out for distribution. How many of our musicians or actors can do that? Most of them feel so big to do any work apart from what they are known for but hey, if I need to bake bread or go fishing just to put food on the table, I have no problem at all,” he said.

He added that said he feels no sympathy for poor musicians because he believes the allow themselves to be poor by not taking advantage of their fame to do other things.

Lucky intimated that there are a lot of musicians who were richer than him in the past but are broke now because they failed to manage their finances well.

“It saddens my heart when I see my colleagues begging for money on radio from individuals or the government and I wish musicians will take my advice and make hay while the sun shines,” he noted.
