Actor Mikki Osie Berko, popularly known as Dada Boat, has criticized the low financial returns on brand ambassadorship deals in Ghana.
He compared local payouts to those in developed nations, noting artists abroad might afford private jets while Ghanaian stars “risk using public transport.”
Brands often undervalue these partnerships, he claimed, citing offers to host events for trivial compensation like food.

Despite challenges, BERKO remains committed, calling such gigs “survival tactics” until industries recognize their worth.
His remarks highlight systemic undervaluation of creative professionals, urging brands to align payments with global standards for sustainable growth.
