Artistes with one popular song on TikTok are not qualified for celebrity status—Patapaa

Swedru-based singer Patapaa has disclosed that some musicians are only popular on TikTok but can’t be recognized in real life.

He said such musicians known on TikTok mostly have hit songs on social media and are not eligible to call themselves celebrities.

Patapaa was speaking to Amansan Krakye in an interview monitored by MyNewsGh.com when he said, “If you’re a TikTok artist, you can’t compare yourself to stars like Patapaa, Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, or Kuami Eugene.”

“If you observe very well, you’d realize that we are still the ones who are booked for shows because we have a lot of songs to perform when booked. There are some TikTok artiste who have blown with one song, but when they come out on the streets, nobody can identify their name or face,” he told Amansan Krakye.

Patapaa further indicated that he seems to abhor the decision to attend events lately because most of the artistes he meets are TikTok stars who do not have songs to perform but just their one hit song.

“If you’re a TikTok artist, you’re not a celebrity; that’s why I don’t attend events when invited nowadays, because all the musicians who come are TikTok artists.”
