Ghanaian Afrobeats and Afro-pop sensation Kwame Tyrish has voiced strong concerns about how upcoming artists are treated within the music industry. Speaking candidly on the TalkToFrimpzyShow hosted by blogger GhFrimpzy, the singer described what he calls a troubling culture of disrespect and neglect toward rising talents in the country.

According to Kwame Tyrish, the level of disregard shown to emerging acts is “insane.” He lamented that upcoming artists are constantly sidelined, undervalued, and treated poorly despite their efforts to build their craft and contribute to the growth of the industry.

During the interview, Tyrish expressed frustration over how new talents are often overlooked in major conversations and opportunities. He stated that many platforms prioritize already established names, leaving upcoming artists to struggle for visibility and fair treatment.

He further highlighted how some record labels allegedly shift blame onto the very artists they sign. According to him, when projects fail to meet expectations, the blame is often directed publicly at the artist instead of addressing structural or promotional shortcomings within the label.

Kwame Tyrish also addressed what he described as unfair practices by certain media personalities and pundits. He revealed that some platforms charge upcoming artists before granting them interview slots or promotional features. Even after making payments, he claims many of these artists are still not treated with respect.

“It’s not just about the money,” he implied. “It’s about the dignity and recognition.”

He emphasized that upcoming artists should be nurtured, not dismissed, because they represent the future of the industry.

In a passionate appeal, Tyrish noted that today’s rising acts are tomorrow’s headliners. He stressed the need for industry stakeholders including media houses, record executives, and entertainment pundits to treat emerging talents with the same courtesy and professionalism extended to established stars.

“If we don’t respect them now, who will carry the industry forward?” he questioned.

Kwame Tyrish also reacted to recent comments made by Ananzo, who suggested that “most upcoming artists are lazy.” Tyrish disagreed strongly with that characterization, arguing that while some individuals may lack direction, it is unfair to generalize and label an entire generation of artists as lazy.

He insisted that many upcoming musicians are hardworking but lack adequate support systems, resources, and fair opportunities.
