I’ve been ignored by some in the showbiz, and they don’t care about me, Lord Paper.
I’ve been ignored by some in the showbiz, and they don’t care about me, Lord Paper.
Michael Takyi-Frimpong, better known by his stage name Lord Paper, is an Afrobeats artist from Ghana. He has stated that he is still coping with the fallout from an explicit sex scene that was included in his music video nine years ago.
Remember that the then-rising Lord Paper released a music video in 2016 for the song “Ewurama” that included an explicit sex scene?
The music video caused a stir across the nation, with many people disapproving of the path it took.
Lord Paper has said that nine years after apologizing to the business and learning from the criticism he received, he is still carrying the brunt of his conduct.
During an interview with Metro TV in Accra, Lord Paper expressed his displeasure at being blocked from promoting his music and placed on a blacklist by certain media outlets.
The singer highlighted that he feels the industry is not supporting his career, even though other media outlets have given him access and interviews to promote his song.
“The business doesn’t care about me or offer me love. I don’t think I need to be in your faces if the project is really good. the entire industry. I won’t say everyone because I am receiving affection from some folks.
“I am stating this because I have gone to locations to promote my music and they have refused to let me in. I have also gone to locations where I later made friends with some of the staff members and they have informed me that you have been blacklisted and they do not want us to play your songs,” he stated.
Lord Paper firmly stated that it “makes no sense and unfair” to him if the explicit sex scene in his 2016 music video is the basis for the blacklist, even though he wondered whether the “hate” may be related to his 2016 scandal.
He claims that since he has made amends, learned from his mistakes, and produced quality music to show his regret, it would be pointless to hold him accountable for his conduct in 2016.
“I’m not sure if it’s still related to the video, but if it is, I feel like it’s unfair because I received a lot of criticism.
Then he continued, “Do you still have to use that thing to judge me? It makes no sense. I went home, did my homework, and dropped a lot of songs, some of which made a lot of sense.”
