Stadium shows in Tamale are becoming glorified setups for artists, yet some will swallow any disrespect just to chase clout. Are artists paid for appearances, or is exposure now a currency? Who even decides who’s up and coming?And since when did accepting an invitation mean surrendering your artistic freedom? Some of these shows need serious professionalism, not inflated egos and cheap publicity stunts.
