A fair comment taken in bad light or perhaps a totally wrong comment at the wrong time? Konkarah Jahvybz is not having it easy at all on social media after he made some controversial comments on Hitz 103.9fm while on interview with King Lagazee who hosts “Yaad Settingz”.
In a conversation with King Lagazee, Konkarah said the music business in Ghana isn’t substantial enough due to many wannabes trying to run the music space without the requisite talent. His comments however had mixed reactions with many bashing him heavily on that. Below are some of the comments after a story from that interview was culled by Elorm Beenie for his blog BeenieWords.com
