Conscious effort to play 80 percent of Nigerian music has yielded results

Vera Hamenoo-Kpeda known in the showbiz industry as MzVee has said Nigerians conscious effort to play 80 percent of their music has yielded results.

This comes after several Nigerian artistes were nominated at the Grammy Awards 2024 with no Ghanaian artistes making it into the categories.

MzVee said in an interview with Amansan Krakye “Nigerians are all over the world, they’ve spread like wildfire and they push their own and the media in Nigeria have protected their artistes.

“They’re very serious about their 80-20 airplay and at first Ghanaian music was in Nigeria anyhow and they even used to come here to beg to perform,” she added on Property FM monitored by MyNewsGh.com

She continued “But they’ve made a conscious effort to play their music 80 percent but we’re not protected here in Ghana and our system is infiltrated with so much foreign music.

“It’s not just about music but everything we just love the foreign stuff so looking at our numbers and the way our system has been infiltrated with foreign things how can we get the level where people are complaining about”.
