Musicians have larger fan base than movie stars

Undoubtedly one of the oldest arguments among both the youth and the old is that between our movie stars of today and music stars who have the largest fan base.

As the Flex newspaper research team took to the streets, this is what music and movie lovers had to say on the issue at hand. Generally, they think music and movie stars of today are doing very great works in terms of projecting Ghanaian values to the outside world but per the votes that we gathered, musicians dominate so far as fan base is concerned.

To make the research representative the research team made sure that the votes are not limited but rather circled across from male to female right down to old and young folks from different locations.

ISAAC a teacher speaking from Dome Pillar2: I think the music stars of today have the highest dominance looking at the tremendous out puts. Shattawale, Stonebwoy and Sarkodie are moving on a higher pace on their fan base, bill boards and corporate endorsement.

TENGOL is musician Quata Budukusu’s manager: For me, our music stars of today are doing their part in terms of audience appeal but I think if it is about highest fan base then I will go straight for the movie stars because their fan base cut across, don’t forget they don’t only act in Ghana and looking at the John Dumelo’s, the Jackie Appiah’s, Yvonne Nelson’s influence on social media tells it all.

CHRISTIAN an architect from East Legon: I am not a fan of this dance hall fever in the country at the moment but I think based on the direction of the argument I will go for the music stars because they are trending more than the movie stars.

For instance, these our movie stars are not even on social media but you can just imagine how our music stars are always trending.
