Jewel Ackah Hits At Ghanaian Radio DJs, Says ‘I Won’t Pay Any Payola’
Veteran Highlife musician, Jewel Ackah, has been in the media lately for saying the radio stations are killing his new gospel album titled ‘Jesus.’
Unfurling his ordeal and grievance on Channel R on Friday 21st Feb, 2014, Jewel Ackah said he has taken his promo CDs to Peace fm, Rainbow Radio, Sena Radio and others but they don’t play his songs. “I went to Peace fm and met Father Dickson. He introduced one lady to me and asked me to give my CDs to the lady and I did.
Till date, I’ve not heard my song played on their medium. You know Despite has 3 mediums – Peace fm, OK fm and Neat fm; none of them plays my songs. Abeiku Santa, my son (not biological though), I’ve complained to him. He called me and promised of calling to interview me. Here I am, he’s not called me again.
Asked if he paid PAYOLA – monies (arguably illegal) some DJs and presenters take before they play songs from musicians when he gave his promo CDs out, Jewel Ackah retorted “I won’t pay any payola to any DJ! One DJ I gave my CD to at Oman fm called me and told me some of his colleagues want payola else they won’t play my songs.
I told him I won’t pay ‘foko!” Why should I pay payola before my songs are played?” Jewel Ackah also revealed that he’s produced about 2000 copies of his promo CDs. He sent 500 to Despite Stores in Kantamanto and 300 to Airport Shell. The rest are decaying in his room.
