Renowned Broadcaster and Communication Executive - Kwasi Kyei Darkwa popularly known as KKD has slammed some Ghanaians for always trying to pull each other down instead of supporting each other.
KKD who was commenting on the reactions of some Ghanaians on social media after nominees for the BET AWARDS 2017 International Act- Africa, was announced yesterday Monday May 15, seems heartbroken because most of the comments from Ghanaians are negative whiles Nigerians are rather supporting their own.
In a lengthy post on social media KKD wrote:
“I have read with much joy, and also disappointment, the tweets and posts following the announcement of nominees for the BET AWARDS 2017 International Act- Africa. On this subject, I speak only for myself, The Finest Productions and for the advancement of Arts, Culture and Tourism in Ghana, not for BET nor any artiste nor enterprise.


The negativity expressed in Ghanaian circles is only surpassed by the positivity and goodwill of our Nigerian counterparts.

Whilst some Ghanaian supporters and punters are attacking the nominated and the as yet unnominated, others elsewhere are congratulating and rooting for their compatriot.


The difference is so telling: love vrs hate, class vrs crass.

Wiz Kid Dayo from Nigeria tweeted in support of fellow nominee Mr Eazi: "Proud of this guy @mreazi ! Bring it home!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

whilst in Ghana,
Willi Roy posted on his Facebook page: "When Ghanians take pride in a backstage award then we are in deep mess"
and "Shatta Wale is about making real money not backstage awards BETSHAM

No Willi, you didn't have to go there. Be a friend, like in your beautiful song, not a fiend, that's so wrong.

I don't think the very popular and entertaining Ghanaian musician Shatta Wale has requested any publicist to bring his name into the fray.
He can do it himself if he chooses to. He is a commercially successful artiste who deserves his applause and awards, many yet to come.

For now, congratulations to Stone Buoy, the only Ghanaian nominee this year.

I entreat all who love African Music to support the artistes by paying for their music and performances, sponsoring their shows and paying them well for their services in brand campaigns so they can continue to bring us entertainment and upliftment.
As for those who dislike any product, you have the power to channel your energies into designing and creating your substitute. 
Don't merely sit and vent; think and invent.
And if you can't build, don't destroy what others have. "If you can't originate
You may temporarily imitate
 But please don't denigrate
Rather learn to create" -HRB KKD.

The hypocrites on here chanting, raving and writing all the ridiculous stuffs should rather give us a break. Those acting more catholic than the pope should actually take a hike. Who amongst u haven't erred? As a matter of honesty, some of u may have worst skeletons in your closets than anyone can ever imagine. Yet u hide behind platforms like this and denigrate and vilify others as if u perfect yourselves. The substantive matter is the pure hatred and jealousy people like Willi Roy have for stone bwoy and the agenda to undermine s young man's hussle. The usual phd syndrome we have to destroy anything good that happens to someone else except for ourselves is what kkd is addressing. Did he insult anybody? Get off your silly moral high horses and bloody get a life cos none of u are saints.
Why do Ghanaians overate BET? it is not that big here in America. This is equivalent to TV3 4site music video awards. This is definately not Grammy Awards or MTV awards.
Stone Buoy is not the only nominee from Ghana as Mr. Eazi grew up in Ghana and also started his Music career in Ghana. He is a Nigerian by birth yes, but also has Ghanaian ancestory......watch some of his interviews for these facts! Thanks!As an African, I am proud of all nominees as well as the African musicians who weren't nominated.
this ***barred word*** must not be allowed to come to public please. Do not give him the opportunity.
A MAN IS NOT WHAT HE WEARS. AND TO ERR IS WOMAN.
We are more than disappointed in you
KKD you said it right and let me tell you there are so many nkurasefuo and hateful,env*ous low class inferiority complex filled in Ghana and we got to know these people in Rawlings Ghana. Gen. Acheampong's Ghana was so so lovely and lively with no hate so sweet and united. I was ashamed and disgusted when a friend in the u.s.a who is a Nigerian asked me why Ghanaians h*te themselves,why so much h*te in Ghana,you are not united. I said Rawlings politics brought this hate, like some people are sitting at the right hand side of God so getting all the blessing from God whilst they have been neglected by God with poverty, but wealth comes with hardwork not st*aling and h*te,env*ness and jealousy. Shatta fly high to the sky and may your enemies remain down. God will keep you going up. Stone Buoy congratulation! Those h*ters of KKD anyway! If you care to know he is an Ashanti the tribe you hate so much but God has blessed so much. If you care to know Akyems speak better English than your heavy accent English,***barred word***,Aboaba ba.
SO BRA ***barred word*** SAYS WHATTTT? CHAI
KKD tell us which hotel you will go this Xmas, so that we can stop the small small girls from going there. Meanwhile, Airport Police Cells will reserve a room for you this Xmas - just in case you do 'that your thing' again. Child rap-i-st.
if u like Nigerian attitude so much, go there and do your rap-ing there! We don't tolerate such noonsense in Ghana.
