Ghanaian rapper, M.anifest has stated that he having ‘beef’ in the music circle is a new currency for artists.
According to the him, attention is the new currency, hence music artists in Ghana and all over the world, engage in it to get the attention they need to sell the music.
“It is part of life but also people really recognize the financial benefit of attention. Attention is the new currency, attention is the new drive that everybody feeds on and beef is the easiest way to get attention, M.anifest disclosed in an interview on BBC News’ “Focus on Africa.”
The rapper, who has in the past, had a musical war with Sarkodie stated that although that happened, he doesn’t have ‘beef’ with individuals but with institutions.
“Me, I have beefs with the institutions,” he said while laughing.
He continued; that is life. Life is a lot about different philosophical points of view, always going at each other whether it’s in literature, politics, religion etc, so we’ve just inherited the world,” he noted.
