Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has said Ghanaians don't believe in creative arts. The 31-year-old rapper made this statement in a Twitter rant yesterday.


According to Sarkodie, many Ghanaian artistes fund themselves as a result of the less interest stakeholders have in the creative arts sector.

"Peeps don't believe in the creative arts where am from ... 90% of our acts fund themselves... All we doing is flipping...," he tweeted.
