NanaYaw Wiredu criticizes Mr Drew’s social media outburst

Media entrepreneur and talent manager NanaYaw Wiredu has commented on a recent online confrontation involving Ghanaian musician Mr Drew. Speaking on Woezor TV’s Breakfast Cafe, Wiredu stated that such an incident would not occur under his management, noting that he provides guidance to artists on handling media appearances and provocations.

The dispute occurred during an X Space hosted by Mr Drew to promote his single, ‘Steeze’. The exchange escalated when a participant addressed the singer using the informal Ghanaian term ‘chale’. Mr Drew objected to the address, asserting that differences in age, social status, and financial standing should be respected. He told the participant, ‘I am not your mate. When it comes to money and age, I am not your mate, and you need to put that in your head.’

Wiredu emphasized that successful artist development requires more than producing hits; it involves training musicians to manage public attention and maintain positive relationships with their audiences to avoid saying the wrong thing.
