Ghanaian musician Darkovibes has sparked conversation within the entertainment industry after expressing frustration over what he describes as a lack of support from some Ghanaian DJs.

 In a statement captured in a graphic shared on social media, Darkovibes said that many DJs fail to play local artistes' songs, yet expect warm acknowledgement and recognition from musicians whenever they meet them in person.

 “Ghanaian DJs don’t play our songs, but they expect us to acknowledge them when we meet,”

 His comments highlight a longstanding concern among Ghanaian musicians who feel they do not receive enough airplay or visibility from key industry gatekeepers.

According to him,  some DJs often prioritise foreign music or select local tracks based on personal preferences rather than supporting the broader creative community.

 Darkovibes’ remarks have ignited debate on social media, with some fans agreeing that DJs must play a more supportive role in promoting homegrown talent.

Others argue that artists also need to build better relationships with DJs and create music that suits diverse audiences.

 The conversation adds to ongoing discussions about improving structures within Ghana’s music ecosystem, from airplay and promotions to industry collaborations.

 As the debate unfolds, many hope it will lead to improved engagement between artistes and DJs, promoting a healthier environment for the growth of Ghanaian music.
