Breaking News: The music scene in Ghana's Western Region is buzzing! Sleeky, a prominent Ghanaian music promoter, is celebrating Kofi Kinaata's successful 2025 'Made in Taadi' concert, calling it a landmark moment. But here's where it gets interesting... their history wasn't always smooth. Sadiq Assah, known as Sleeky, the CEO of Sleeky Promotions, took to Facebook to express his admiration for Kinaata's achievement, despite past disagreements. He described the concert as a historic win for the Western Region's entertainment industry. Sleeky highlighted how Kinaata's efforts have revitalized the scene, drawing parallels to how one person can revive a dead sports club. He believes this success has paved the way for promoters to bring major events back to the region, including himself. He even called the show a true Western Region festival.
And this is the part most people miss... While Sleeky's post aimed to be purely congratulatory, the comments section ignited with controversy. One artist accused Sleeky of hypocrisy, questioning his motives and suggesting he secretly dislikes Kofi Kinaata. This bold claim sparked a heated debate among artists and fans.
Sleeky didn't back down. He vehemently denied the accusations, stating he's never held any animosity towards Kinaata. He expressed surprise that the criticism came from artists he had previously supported, recalling his efforts to help underground artists gain exposure and collaborations with Kinaata. He mentioned names like Aya, Bobo Dada Bee, Qwesi Ghana, and Tray Zee, among others. Sleeky lamented the irony of being hailed as a champion for these artists initially, only to be labeled negatively once they achieved recognition. He emphasized that he doesn't sing and doesn't need favors, asserting his actions were solely driven by a passion for nurturing Western Region talent.
What do you think? Do you believe Sleeky's intentions were purely supportive, or is there more to the story? Share your thoughts in the comments!
