Collaborate and work together instead of fighting – Rocky Dawuni tells artistes

Renowned Ghanaian Reggae artiste Rocky Dawuni has urged musicians to shun conflict and ‘beef’ in the industry.

Speaking to 3Xtra’s Kwaku King, Rocky called for more unity and collaboration amongst artiste in the industry while condemning the trend of artistes throwing jabs and insults at each other either in their music lyrics or on social media.

According to him, using art as a tool for division undermines its greater purpose.

“I don’t believe that artistes should focus on attacking each other. Artistes should rather learn to work with each other. That’s how you build a solid, peace-driven environment. Any kind of toxic environment feeds negativity. We are projecting our art to young people. We are projecting our art to the leaders of tomorrow. So, if we make that art a means of division, then we lose the higher point of what it is,” he said.

The celebrated singer emphasized the need of fostering harmony within the creative community, as this might encourage optimism among Ghanaians.

“People might have their own methodology and their own aspects, but for me, I always promote harmony and unity,” he added.
