“Music pays a lot more compared to being an MP,” KK Fosu has said.

The Highlife superstar spoke to Sammy Brown on Accra 100.5 FM’s Akwaaba Show.

“Music pays because we have the rights and all the time, the money comes to us,” he emphasised.

“But you the politician is paid out of the taxes I pay so you are not independent. You’re working for me.”

He stressed genuine politics was actually not supposed to enrich an individual.

“That’s why during Rawlings’ time, when a minister was rampantly building houses, he was confronted and slapped. That’s how it’s supposed to be,” he said.

“Music pays a lot,” KK Fosu added, noting he would “forever encourage and wish my children to take it up.

“But you can’t force them. Even though it’s a family gift.”

“My dad was a great singer and part of [the band] Happy Stars,” he revealed.

Here, the celebrated singer-songwriter divulged his megahit Sudwe was inspired by music from the Happy Stars.

He, also, said he had three albums recorded and ready for release.

“Pay attention to my music. That’s all I need,” he urged consumers.

“We do real music. I work with time. I take time to work on my songs. I do what and go where God directs me,” he added, promising quality.
