Ghanaian acts doing fake dancehall - Jamaican artiste hezron

Hezron Hezron

Jamaican reggae and dancehall star Hezron has sparked controversy by accusing some Ghanaian artists of performing "fake dancehall.

Speaking during a media interaction, Hezron expressed concern about the authenticity of dancehall music coming from Ghana, claiming it lacks the genuine Jamaican essence that defines the genre.

He urged Ghanaian artists to focus on originality and embrace their cultural roots rather than imitating Jamaican sounds.

"Dancehall is a lifestyle and culture; it’s not just about beats and lyrics," Hezron emphasized.

The comments have ignited debates within the Ghanaian music scene, with some artists defending their craft while others agree with Hezron’s critique.

As Ghana continues to gain recognition in global music, the call for authenticity adds a thought-provoking layer to the conversation.
