When girls start fainting,screaming and they have stage performances as electrifying as P-square's..... R2bees can start commanding similar amounts as P-square. Pls, how many of their songs do the people supporting them know of.

Nigerians should not eedris abdulkareem pulled similar stunt when 50 cent came for the star lager beer show some years back. I don't blame the Ghana acts for doing same. Afterall it's all business.

I said it back then and i'll say it again that Eedris was a fool for that action. 50-Cents, if left alone could afford to pay for the treatment he was being given then comfortably while Eedris I'm sure would only be able to afford economy class on his own. 50-cents was also a far bigger star so why was he fighting for what he didn't deserve?

R2bees are just being childish; how do they expect to be paid equal amount with P square! P square will have sold out concerts any where in africa but R2bees won't: if so, why do you won't to be paid the same amount with the guys who are bringing in the crowd while you are just side attraction e.g drake(canadian) asking for the same or more money because JZ(American) is being paid a lot of money in canada. It just don't make sense, R2bees just gat to be enlightened. What will they do if smaller artist in Ghana do likewise in ghana? They won't have any show to perform.

How does Nigerian music become very popular in Ghana? http://ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/artikel.php?ID=257945&comment=0#com

How does Nigerian music become very popular in Ghana while Ghanaian music remains contraband commodity in the former’s country? This is a big question that requires serious necropsy by entertainment pundits.

Give or show a Nigerian movie to the average Ghanaian in the 90’s and he or she will spurn it. At that time, Ghanaians loved Ghanaian movies to Nigerian movies. Starting the new millennium, Ghana was deluged with an influx of Nigerian movies. The table then turned; Ghanaians developed a strong predilection for Nigerian movies and ever since, have not looked back.

In the 90’s, rarely would one hear a Nigerian song being played on radio. By the year 2004, Nigerian songs or music started gaining foot in Ghana and ever since, Nigerian songs have steadily become popular in Ghana and Nigerian artistes for that matter, have also become popular as well.

A colleague art writer went to Nigerian recently to cover an entertainment event and after his return, narrated his observations on the Nigerian music industry. He said barely would one hear a Ghanaian song being played on radio.

The only Ghanaian songs he heard being played was songs produced by VIP and R2Bs. Kesse, the male vocalist of this year’s Vodafone Ghana music awards after participating in the ‘project fame’ music reality show in Nigeria, returned to also say he never heard any Ghanaian song played on any medium for the period he spent there.

Currently, Nigerian songs or music have very popular and so are their artistes in Ghana. Nigerian songs have become so popular that some Ghanaian musicians even copy their lyrics, accent, composition, songs or style of song engineering. Ghana and Nigerian are not enemies; neither is this feature attempting to brew an unhealthy competition or antagonism between them.

It wouldn’t have become an issue of discussion or to worry about if Nigerian music are popular in Ghana and Ghanaian music are also popular or doing creditably well in the latter’s country.

The facts on the grounds are that Nigerian songs are far popular in Ghana than Ghanaian music is in Nigeria. This is a big challenge to our music industry because Nigeria has a bigger market Ghana can tap into. It’s obvious the media in Ghana is the main tool that has made Nigerian songs popular in Ghana but the questions that require answers are; how do the Nigerians influence our media for their songs to become popular in Ghana? Is it that they pay ‘fat payola’ to the Ghanaian media than the Ghanaian musicians?

Do they have special agents here who do promotions for them? And why are Ghanaian songs not that popular in Nigeria? Could they (Nigerians) be sabotaging our music on their soil? Or is Nigerian music better than Ghanaian music?

MUSIGA must come in on this issue on a way to make Ghanaian music popular in Nigeria. MUSIGA can propose a treaty with the Nigerian music union to promote Ghanaian music there. The Nigerian population is big and that gives them a bigger market than Ghana.

However, I certainly don’t think any measure such as banning Nigerian songs in Ghana is or will be a panacea. We must be tactful.

Having more Nigerians in Ghana than you have Ghanaians in Nigeria must be a big factor.

Having said that, I don't think Nigerian music dominates to the extent u have described.

NOW I KNOW WHY THE GHANAIAN R2BEE IS ANGRY. R2BEE AND SAKORDIE BOTH AGREED TO BE PAID 20,000 GHANIAN CEDIS (ABOUT 10K USD) BUT ON FRIDAY THEY HEARD FROM RELIABLE SOURCES THAT PSQUARE IS BEING PAID 300,000 USD FOR THE SHOW, THAT'S WHEN SAKORDIE AND R2BEES STARTED DEMANDING FOR MORE MONEY. NOW I KNOW HOW CHEAP GHANIAN MUSICIANS ARE... SAKORDIE IS THE BIGGEST MUSICIAN IN GHANA BY MILES AND HE IS BEING PAID LESS THAN 10K USD TO PERFORM IN A SHOW WTF............

Hey, come on guys let's stop being
sentimental, call a spade a spade,
Check out the huge desparity between
200,000USD and 5000USD. For me I
feel its much and the right thing was to
chicken out.

Do these guys hv d same intl fan base like P-Square? If Rick Ross is to perform in a show with MI, will they be paid d same amt of money? Let the organisers use dat opportunity to make money from them as a breach of contact.

stshakes: Please is it $20K or $200K for P-square? I know why I dey ask. 200K na 32Million o.... Even US artistes don't cost that much.... Let's not mislead people. I don't know how much P-square was offered but I Know it will be no where near $200k

Because you know very little about P-Square! They are the highest paid African Artiste of all time. Their fee is between $150,000 to $200,000. If they mercy for you they will collect $100k, thats the very least they can go.

Last month they performed in Zimbabwe for just 45minutes in an event sponsored by Castle and was paid $150,000. By the way, it was not even $200,000 they where paid in Ghana -- it was a whooping $300,000. P-Square no be your mate

ekt_bear: One Kenyan girl I met recently decided that she want to learn Igbo simply because of P-square (I think beautiful onyinye is the song that she loves). That is the impact they seem to be having musically in Africa.

I love beautiful onyinye mucho. The original not the remix with that fat dude "ahumm "
