GHANAIAN born, Kweku Sarpong Plahar, aka Zigi, who is widely known for his “U Sey WetTinm” has revealed that his song, which won him award at the Ghana Music Awards, has failed to translate into financial reward.
According to him, at the age of 22, “U sey weytin,” a smash hit, took the country by storm.
Despite the success of “U sey weytin” and other tracks like “Catch your eye,” “Let’s get it started” and “Amanda” Zigi’s record contract under Lynx Entertainment was not renewed.
This left the young artiste, who had won a Ghana Music Award for best Afro-pop song and was nominated in two other categories, devastated.
However, in a bid to re-organise and acquire enough resources, Zigi took a four-year break.
Announcing the end of his hiatus on the 22nd of February 2017, through a Facebook Live interaction with GhanaNdowm media, Zigi seemed to be in high spirits.
