Ghanaian Highlife singer, Bisa Kdei, has reacted to critics who describe his music as “funeral songs”.
In a recent interview with Adom TV’s Maame Boatemaa, Bisa explained that although some may attempt to undermine his music and label it as a ‘funeral song’, it does not bother him.
According to him, funeral songs are even more popular than other songs and are frequently played at events hence he is not bothered about being tagged as a ‘funeral song’ writer.
“People who have nothing better to do follow foolish trends. Someone started this agenda on Twitter, and it continued. But isn’t it true that funeral songs are some of the most popular in Ghana? We talk too much sometimes. Instead of supporting those who are working hard, some people make social media a platform for unnecessary comments” he emphasized.
He noted that he is however unbothered about the the ongoing debate but is concerned about how it keeps getting amplified on social media rather than the comments.
“It doesn’t bother me when they call my music funeral songs. It’s how they try to make it a huge agenda that’s annoying. Other than that, I don’t care. Everyone is built to talk about someone, but how you handle it is what matters,” he added.
