In a recent edition of Sammy Flex’s renowned entertainment show, “Class Showbiz,” a segment took a regrettable turn as one of the pundits, Chairmo, made distasteful remarks regarding urban Gospel frontliner, Scott Evans.

This incident serves as a poignant reminder of the responsibility industry players bear in uplifting Ghanaian talents rather than undermining their hard work.

The crux of Chairmo’s disparaging comments centered on Scott Evans’ achievements and success in the music industry, implying that accolades and views don’t translate to genuine success.

Such remarks not only belittle the artist’s efforts but also reflect a concerning trend of tearing down fellow musicians instead of supporting and promoting their craft.

In response to the viral backlash, Sammy Flex and his team issued an apology, recognizing the inappropriateness of the comments made on the show.

While apologies are a step in the right direction, this incident underscores a broader issue within the industry—the need for a collective commitment to promoting unity, respect, and constructive criticism.

The Ghanaian music scene is a thriving hub of diverse talents, each contributing uniquely to the country’s cultural and artistic richness.

Instead of fostering an environment of healthy competition and collaboration, instances like these highlight a damaging tendency to diminish the efforts of fellow artists.

It is crucial for industry players, especially influential figures like Sammy Flex and his team, to use their platforms responsibly.

Their words carry weight and can significantly impact the perception of artists within and outside the industry. Disparaging comments not only tarnish the reputation of individual artists but also contribute to a divisive atmosphere that inhibits the industry’s growth.

As fans and stakeholders in the Ghanaian music scene, we must demand better from our industry leaders. Constructive criticism can pave the way for improvement, but demeaning language only serves to erode the foundations of unity and mutual respect that are essential for collective progress.

In view of this Scott Evans’ management has issued a press statement as seen below;

The world can only help but see the hardwork and dedication that the Gospel Amapiano genre creator has invested into his music and the level of excellence he has since introduced in to the Ghanaian Gospel music scene as evidenced by his latest project Grace is Luxury EP.

Fans and naysayers alike can rightly judge via the quality of music videos, promotional strategies and Christian lyrical contents contained in his released songs such as Map3k3, 100 Percent, Best Side and his most recent Holy Father single which has earned him several deserving nominations across several awards schemes from the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards to the Praise Achievement Awards.

Let this incident serve as a cautionary tale for all industry players, urging them to prioritize collaboration, encouragement, and constructive dialogue.

As fans, let’s rally behind Scott Evans, celebrating his achievements and fostering an environment where he can flourish without fear of unwarranted criticism.

In conclusion, let us hold our industry players accountable, reminding them of the pivotal role they play in shaping the narrative of Ghanaian music.

Together, we can build a supportive and thriving ecosystem that propels our artists onto the global stage, showcasing the richness of our musical heritage. Stream/Download Scott Evans’ Grace Is Luxury EP on preferred platform here.
