C-zar quits music for good.<\/p>\n
Veteran hiplife musician, C-zar reveals the reason why he left the music industry. Furthermore, he stated that he ventured into entrepreneurship because he did not want to die as a poor man.<\/p>\n
Moreover, according to him, music in Ghana only brings fame and attention and not wealth. Therefore, he was not willing to settle for just being famous whilst remaining a poor man.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have quit music for good, I don\u2019t want to die poor. Sincerely, show business doesn\u2019t pay in our part of the world. See how all the veterans die as if they have never been in the limelight.<\/em><\/p>\n
I don\u2019t even want to see myself in such a condition in future where my family has to appeal for funds to take care of me should I fall sick. It is for this reason that I have decided to say goodbye to this trade which only gives you fame and attention but doesn\u2019t pay so well.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Furthermore, he stated that it’s only a handful that truly make good money in the showbiz industry. However, the rest are left to suffer in silence.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can say that barely 10 people in showbiz are really raking in huge sums which suits their status as celebrities but in reality, many are broke because it doesn\u2019t pay much. During my prime, there were producers who saw music as a business and invested in it so until they paid for the cost of their investments, the artiste may not benefit.<\/em><\/p>\n
The truth is that, often times, there isn\u2019t much after the producers have paid for all the expenses for cost of production so while you are making big hits, the returns are really little.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Currently, C-Zar is in the electricals business and owns a couple of shops at different locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
