Rap music isn’t profitable; Sarkodie has taken all the money—YPee

Ghanaian hip hop artist and performer, YPee, whose real name is Andy Agyemang, has revealed that rap music is no longer profitable.

YPee stated that rap doesn’t generate the income it once did, which has led many rappers to focus on releasing singles rather than full albums. He noted that the golden era of rap music is over, citing Sarkodie, Ghana’s top rapper, as an example. Sarkodie’s biggest hits, such as “Adonai” and “You Go Kill Me,” are not rap tracks but more commercial and danceable tunes that performed well in the market.

YPee remarked, “The rap game is not as lucrative as it used to be. Sarkodie and others have already taken all the money,” he joked.
