Breakthrough Ghanaian hip-hop musician, Kweku Flick, has insisted that Pa[[y Kojo's open admission and declaration as being a gay man will not in any way affect the music industry negatively as perceived.

“Not at all... it won’t affect the Ghana music industry negatively if some artistes are admitting to being gay or lesbian. The truth of the matter is that the industry is walking somewhere and the artistes are also charting different paths individually,” he said in an interview.

Ghanaian artiste, Pappy Kojo, known in private circles as Ghanaian artiste Jason Gaisie k recently opened up on his sexual orientation. The rapper in an interview with Giovanni Caleb on TV3's Friday night show revealed that he is a homosexual and has a preference for a certain class of men.

Speaking of Kastle Fm on the back of this issue, Kweku Flick, who was digesting Pappy Kojo’s gay issue, proverbially likened the Ghana music industry to a forest and claims there are individual lifestyles, and preferences.

“If you’ve studied the Ghanaian music industry very well, it can be compared to a forest. When you’re standing afar, you’d see the trees closely attached to each other but when you get closer, you’d actually see that each tree is standing independently.

"So if someone has openly declared and admitted to being gay on national television, it won’t negatively affect any artiste in the Ghana music industry. When you get closer to that artiste, he’s standing alone just like I’m also on my own. But if you’re behind the scenes, you’d mistakenly think that we’re united. That’s how it is so our prayer is that our music career will progress so that everyone will be happy irrespective of the fact that you’re a homosexual or not", he said.

Concluding his submission on LGBTQ issues which havwe dominated Ghana for the past weeks on the show, he remarked that “As for me Kweku Flick, my music is intended to bring laughter and smiles into the faces of people that’s my quota.”
