Do you think he said it right?
Ghanaian artist Edem recently faced heated criticism after an Instagram Live session where fans made surprising financial demands.
One fan requested GH¢2,000 for rent, citing housing struggles. Edem rejected the plea, suggesting the fan return to their village to manage their expenses better.
Another fan claimed Edem owed payment for a portrait they had drawn of him. The artist clarified he never requested the artwork, hence no obligation to pay.
The viral interaction has divided opinions online. While some accused Edem of being dismissive, others supported his stance, emphasizing the importance of personal accountability.
A fan remarked, “Volta artists are all stingy. Edem, who disses family for money, says what?” Another added, “How do you ask for help without even saying please? Hmmm.”
This incident has reignited conversations about fans’ expectations of celebrities versus boundaries of personal responsibility.
