Addressing oneself to others might inspire one to work harder and become better. Collectively, this can lead to individuals pushing one another to do better, which leads to advancement.
However, this may also create an obsession with success that compels people to perform at a level that may not be reasonable given some circumstances. A negative self-image as well as emotions of shame and inadequacy may also result from not keeping up with the individual being addressed.
This follows a Ghanaian musician, Mr. Drew, who recently shared his concern about Ghanaians addressing him as Ghana Chris Brown in an interview on Y 107.9 FM with Kojo Manuel.
Artists in the Ghanaian music industry get inspiration from other artists, which in a way helps to build their music careers in the long run.
The “EChoke” hitmaker has worked so hard to come this far in his music career. His unique blend of hip-hop, hiplife songs, and his dancing style separate him from other artists in the Ghanaian music industry.
This is the reason why many Ghanaians refer to him as Ghana Chris Brown, because the American singer Chris Brown, has the same style as Mr. Drew.
However, the Ghanaian artist has cautioned the public to stop addressing him as Ghana Chris Brown because this could sabotage his efforts and his brand in building his music career. Since people will not focus on him and may diminish his accomplishments.
“Lots of people call me Ghana’s Chris Brown, but for me, I prefer they stop. I just want to be Mr. Drew, and that’s all.” He shared.
He, however, emphasizes the achievement of Chris Brown on a global scale and discloses how he admires the American singer, but he also wants to establish his career and have a positive impact on a global scale.
“Chris Brown has already established himself in the world and on a very large scale, so that’s what I’m also trying to do for my career. But don’t call me Ghana’s Chris Brown. I want to be known as Mr. Drew”. He emphasizes.
