Kwadee Not A MUSIGA Member- MUSIGA Vice President reveals

The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has clarified its position on legendary hiplife artist Kwadee’s struggles, stating that he is not a registered member of the union.

Despite criticism over the union’s perceived lack of support for the embattled musician, MUSIGA’s 2nd Vice President, Abena Ruthy, has revealed that the union has assisted him in the past and is prepared to do so again on humanitarian grounds.

“There was news about Kwadee recently. He is not even a member now. But our president was on us to link him up to Kwadee. So that is the kind of thing we are doing. We are a family,” she said on Showbiz A-Z on Joy FM.

She emphasised that MUSIGA operates as a welfare group dedicated to improving the lives of its members and urged musicians to contribute to their welfare and insurance policies.

Abena Ruthy also pointed out a common misconception that all artists are automatically part of MUSIGA.

“There is a narrative out there that so far as someone sings, everybody thinks that you are part of us. So we have members in good standing. As it stands, he is not a member in good standing,” she explained.

In 2018, MUSIGA, under the leadership of Ras Caleb Appiah, visited Kwadee at the Willing Ways Foundation rehabilitation centre in Kumasi and made donations to him.

Meanwhile, recent reports suggest that Kwadee’s mental health has deteriorated again, raising concerns among fans and industry stakeholders.
