President of the Creative Arts Council, Mark Okraku Mantey warns against the negative impact beefs in the music industry<\/p>\n
Okraku Mantey stated that beefs in the industry are a good marketing strategy. However, it should not be encouraged because it could harm the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are gradually directing our country, in the wrong direction\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
His warning follows the buzz on Sarkodie\u2019s diss track.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, some industry persons note that beefs are very good for business and the growth of the industry. However, Mantey urges caution.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow they are saying that because of commerce, these people are going to make money and so let\u2019s encourage people, to attack each other using music.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cIf you watch \u2018Nsromma\u2019 on Adom TV most of the kids are singing songs that if you ask them to explain, they don\u2019t understand it\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s be careful and mindful of how we are saying that \u2018because it\u2019s bringing money\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cVery soon I can also write a song dissing the president of the country; is that where we want to go as a people, is that where we want to gradually mold our culture into?\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
