Entertainment critic, Mark Okraku Mantey has rubbished highlife musician Kwaisey Pee\u2019s assertion that there is no celebrity in Ghana.<\/p>\n

Kwaisey Pee, in an interview on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM on Thursday said no Ghanaian is fit to be called a celebrity.<\/p>\n

According to him, comparing the social and financial status of celebrities living in the Western World to the \u2018so-called\u2019 Ghanaian celebrities, he is yet to see one in Ghana.<\/p>\n

But reacting to this on the same Daybreak Hitz show, Mark Okraku Mantey who is also the<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said we don\u2019t have celebrities. It is untrue we do have. Bob Marley and Joseph Hill [Culture] dressed anyhow and didn\u2019t drive luxurious cars but can you say they weren\u2019t celebrities?<\/p>\n

\u201cEthics is about how your society accepts something that is right or wrong. That\u2019s why gayism is normal in the Western culture but not in Africa. Celebrity is the state of being known and talked about. A person who is widely known period per dictionary definition. So where from if you don\u2019t have this or that, you\u2019re not a celebrity?\u201d<\/em> Mark queried.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mr. Okraku Mantey said \u201cIt\u2019s not about richness. If Nana Addo goes anywhere the atmosphere changes because he is a celeb.. We have lots of celebs in the country from music to film, politics, and religion.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI forgive Kwaisey Pee because he lived in the Western Culture for so long,\u201d<\/em> he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
