“Criticism is really vital in any endeavor, but it’s sad how some Liberians come online and try to break Entertainers who are doing their best to make our people happy. You can have a team or artist u support without denigrating the true culture of Liberian Music.
Some funny statements I often heard recently is “Your Music can only play in Liberia”! Truth be told, my Authenticity is paying off everyday, I represent Liberia Music, I have major constituencies with in Liberia, my many Successful events and Ambassadorial deals within Liberia are evidence of the Kinda impact and Influence my career has in Liberian Music.
Y’all always tagging me in these kinda petty posts. But y’all shouldn’t be blindfolded, normally I’m one of the most popular artist across the Length and breath of this country, and it’s ok to sing for my people Locally ( it’s Authenticity).
Nowadays, we don’t even hear many True Liberian songs anymore because of the new ones that already have the notion that signing Gbema or colloquial Music isn’t going to go Global. I just wanna leave a legacy, I have had alternatives but until then I represent the true Liberian Music from Monrovia to the Dehweh all the way in Kweblay” Teddyride
Popular Liberian artist Teddyride replies to critics who keep drågging him for singing in his local language, Koloqua (Colloquial). He says he fully represents the Liberian culture and he won’t change his style of signing anytime soon.
Truth is, even the Nigerian or Ghanaian music we dance to is all sung in pidgin. We just need to support our artistes and our lingo to hit the global market.
Some years back, Nigeria and Ghana were nowhere to be found. But through their hard work, commitment, and unwavering dedication, they have become pillows for African music.
