Article Wan revealed in a conversation with DJ Slim on Daybreak Hitz that Ghana is sitting on him.

“Ghana is sitting on Article Wan and it’s so bad, it’s so terrible. I have something here, but I cannot put it out myself alone. I need everybody’s support. Some heads have ignored me, and it’s not good, but I’m hitting on them,” Article Wan said.

Article Wan also spoke about the existence of gatekeepers in the industry, who he believes can sabotage an artiste’s career.

“I won’t believe that there is a conscious agenda to sabotage me, but from what I’m seeing, it’s scary,” he stated.

The musician also shared his personal experience of facing challenges in the industry, despite his talent and hard work.

“Let’s be realistic, people have got their own favorites. If you are not part of team A, when they are doing something, maybe selecting you will be their second option. You will never be their first option,” he added.

Article Wan also expressed his gratitude for the support of his fans and the success of his music, despite the challenges he has faced.

“I thank my God in heaven, because God has helped me with production. In Ghana, after one hit song, and it passes, that’s it for you. But I featured on some hot songs after, which included Patapaa, Joey B, and all these hits are coming from me and even making waves in Russia,” he said.

Despite the challenges, Article Wan remains optimistic and grateful for the success of his music.

In a post he made on Facebook, the ‘That Thing’ hit maker suggested to the organisers, Charterhouse, to pay attention to the quality of artistes they put on stage.

“Kudos to TGMA for your remarkable work over the years! As you plan ahead, I humbly suggest curating a lineup of talents like myself and others who deliver truly memorable performances, not just “jump and go” acts,” he wrote.

He also touched on the issue of having more vibrant supporters seated in front so they could cheer performers on while they are on stage.

“Having energetic supporters upfront could also help hype the event and keep the vibe alive. My little contribution with respect,” he add.

The Ghanaian musician, known for hits like “Solo” and “That Thing,” revealed that after releasing his song “Ngege,” which quickly gained popularity in 2016, speculation arose that he had employed supernatural means for his success.

Article Wan explained that prior to releasing the song, he had been confident and vocal about its potential to become a hit.

True to his words, he became famous just a week after he released the song, leading to the wild speculations.

The artist expressed no ill will towards those who doubted him, instead wishing them well and hoping they too experience success and recognize the blessings of God.

Article Wan added that he is committed to elevating his music career, acknowledging that he is not yet at his peak but is patient for future achievements.
