Nigerian artiste, Dammy Krane has affirmed his undying love for Ghana by urging Ghanaian Disc jockeys to reduce the rate at which they play Nigerian songs in Ghana.

The artiste stressed that, Naija music has consistently been receiving massive airplays in Ghana which is now a worrying factor.

Krane asserted that the imbalance must be corrected this year.

"This must stop in 2020, the only Naija songs that should have such rotations are songs that features a Ghanaian". He said.

However in September 2018, popular TV and radio host, AJ Sarpong questioned crusaders who were pushing for eighty percent (80%) of Ghanaian local songs to be played on radio and Tv.

"I get the need for people to push for more Ghanaian music on our airwaves. I have seen a campaign pushing for 80% local songs to be played on Ghanaian radio and TV".

"However, I would also like to ask, what happens if we played 100% Ghanaian music all the time in Ghana, but we do not get heavy rotation in Nigeria, South Africa or Kenya or any other African Country?"

"Do our artistes get international gigs simply because their music is played heavily in Ghana?"

"Do our artistes get international recognition, endorsements and partnership simply because they are on heavy rotation in Ghana?" She quizzed.
