The statement highlights a growing conversation in Ghana’s music scene, where hype and online popularity sometimes overshadow skill and performance. For Kojo Manuel, success as an MC or hypeman isn’t measured by followers or flashy moments, but by the ability to engage a crowd authentically and enhance the overall performance.
