In a video on X, she indicated that Ghanaian artistes who travel abroad for music shows must learn to perform instead of miming or pointing the microphone to the audience to do the singing.
“I’m very tired of Ghanaian artistes coming overseas to do karaoke. I don’t understand why you would come, spend money, fly overseas, book a band, book photography all that stuff just to come and sing over your track.”
“Perform on the show because that is what you are paid to do…to be honest all three artistes were giving they didn’t rehearse and didn’t bother to do sound check,” she added.
Her reaction comes after R2bees, OliveTheBoy, and King Paluta, performed at the Ghana Independence concert at Indigo O2. She indicated that they paid for the tickets to watch a show and not to watch artistes mime.
“If you're coming overseas especially if you are coming to London and you are going to put on a show, put on a show. Perform, do choreography, practice. Don’t come on stage and think shouting up and down is doing anything because you are not.”

“Doors opened at 6:30 and as of 9 O’clock, the show had still not started. So now you only have two and a half hours to do three arts.

“I've been saying this for years. R2bees are the biggest offenders. I like their songs, but their onstage performances are something to be studied. Always disappointing!”
@Inkredible_B wrote:
“In the entire country we have only two live band performers Samini & Stonebwoy so if you go to any A—Z list Ghanaian artist concert just expect serious mimicking, running on the stage (cardio exercise) & “mi te ooo” x100.”

“Chale if people want to listen to your song, they will listen to it on Spotify oo. When most people in the diaspora pay for tickets, they don't expect u to mime to a song. They expect a live band performance. The reason why @Wiyaala will always be bigger than your favourite.”
@Legxoffical said:
“I understand where she’s coming from but it’s not every artist that can do live band or live performance. So is your duty as a music consumer to know the artist or the show you attend! This is very simple. Regarding lateness to shows, I really feel it needs to be worked on.”
