John Dumelo will prove them wrong in Jesus’ name – D-Black

Rapper and entrepreneur D-Black has shared his thoughts on the perception of careers in entertainment, following remarks made by First Deputy Minority Whip, Habib Iddrisu, who told John Dumelo that “politics is not like the movies.”

In a passionate response, D-Black highlighted how creative careers are often undervalued in society.

“Growing up, when you said you wanted to make music, nobody really took it seriously. But if you said you wanted to be a doctor, no one would ask what else you do,” he stated.

He explained that entertainment is often viewed as just fun rather than a serious profession, a stereotype ingrained in society from childhood. “Nobody ever says you have to be like the guitarist or the actor.

“It’s always the lawyer, doctor, or banker,” he added.

Despite this, D-Black believes progress is being made, as younger generations now have successful figures in entertainment to look up to.

“People coming up can now point out role models who have made it in the industry.”
