Kumasi-based content creator Fresh Tubor has ignited a heated conversation across Ghana’s entertainment and digital media landscape after making bold claims about the country’s content creation industry.
In a strongly worded statement, Tubor asserted that Accra lacks top-tier content creators, arguing that the real creative force in Ghana is concentrated in Kumasi.
“Top 10 Creators Are All From Kumasi”
According to Fresh Tubor, any serious list of Ghana’s top 10 content creators would be dominated entirely by talents from Kumasi.
“If you mention the top 10 content creators in Ghana, they will all be Kumasi-based,” he claimed, positioning the Ashanti Region as the undisputed hub of digital creativity in the country.
His remarks have since triggered intense reactions online, with many questioning the accuracy of such a sweeping statement.
Claims of Bias and Lack of Support
Beyond talent comparisons, Tubor suggested that Kumasi creators face intentional neglect from audiences and industry stakeholders in Accra.
“They don’t love us just because we’re from Kumasi. We are doing far better than them, and that’s why they don’t support our craft,” he stated.
The comments highlight a long-standing perception among some creatives that regional bias affects visibility, collaborations, and recognition within Ghana’s entertainment ecosystem.
Accra vs Kumasi: A Creative Rivalry Rekindled
The debate has reignited the Accra-Kumasi rivalry, which has historically shaped conversations in music, film, and now digital content creation.
While Kumasi has produced fast-rising influencers and viral comedians, Accra remains home to many established creators, agencies, and brand partnerships that dominate mainstream visibility.
Industry observers argue that both cities contribute significantly to Ghana’s growing creator economy, with platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram leveling the playing field for talents nationwide.
Mixed Reactions from the Public
Social media users have responded with mixed opinions. Supporters of Tubor praise Kumasi’s raw talent and originality, while critics say his comments overlook major Accra-based influencers who have built global audiences.
Some analysts believe the controversy could ultimately benefit the industry by sparking conversations about fair recognition, collaboration, and regional inclusivity.
Why This Story Matters
Fresh Tubor’s statement goes beyond a simple comparison—it reflects deeper issues within Ghana’s creative economy, including visibility gaps, regional identity, and access to opportunities.
As the digital content space continues to expand, bridging the divide between Accra and Kumasi could be key to unlocking Ghana’s full creative potential on the global stage.
