“King Promise Shares Reasons for Limited Performances at Local Shows”

Ghanaian musician King Promise has clarified the reasons behind his limited performances at local events, stating that it is not due to financial demands but rather a lack of invitations from rural promoters. In an interview on Onua Showtime with Nana Ama McBrown, he emphasized that his absence from many local shows is not financially motivated.

King Promise addressed widespread misconceptions, making it clear that his limited appearances are not a result of high fees. He explained, “It is not a money thing. I do not perform at many local shows because of money. It is not because they cannot afford to pay me. My team and I handle every business differently. I won’t charge rural organizers the same way I charge someone in Portugal or Paris; it will definitely be different.”

He elaborated further, noting that the lack of engagement from rural promoters is a key factor. “The reason I don’t perform in rural areas is that they don’t really have promoters who actually organize these gigs and reach out to me. They have money; they paid me really well when I went to Berekum, probably even better than some people in Accra would,” the singer remarked.

King Promise also urged event organizers in rural areas to approach his team, assuring them of his willingness to connect with fans across the country.

Known for hit songs like “CCTV” and “Commando,” King Promise has garnered international acclaim with performances on global stages. However, his limited appearances at Ghanaian events have been a topic of debate among fans. This revelation highlights the challenges in connecting top-tier artists with local promoters, especially in underserved areas.

The conversation has sparked discussions on the importance of building robust networks between rural event organizers and artists to ensure fans everywhere have access to live performances.
