Ghanaian female singer eShun has revealed that she turned down a $100 offer from an unknown guy who wanted to invest in her musical career.
According to the ‘Fakye’ composer, the guy wanted her to spend one week with him in Dubai before investing in her career as a musician but she turned the offer down.
In an interview with Class FM’s Natalia Andoh on her ‘You Only Live Once’ show, the singer continued that, the said investor told her pointblank that most ladies in the music industry passes through the same channel and she’s of no exception.
“I had somebody call me, I don’t know him from anywhere, and he’s like, I’ve seen your work, I like you, I’ve checked your Instagram handles and how it’s going so how can he invest into my carrier and, so, I told him to talk to my boss so that he sees where he can come in.
“I believed everything got down to money because whatever it is, you’ll need money, whether is TV or radio, whatever it is, and he was like money is not a problem for him and that he’s willing to invest $100,000, I was super excited.
‘’I was so happy, but we had been waiting for long for the money, we spoke but he didn’t really mention the money, so one day, I was like, I wanted to ask him if the money was coming any time soon or he just wants us to wait a bit.
“Then he told me the money is not a problem but before he gives me the money, he would like to spend the weekend with me in Dubai.
“I was like: are you saying until that happens the money won’t come?’ He was like not really but then he wants to show me some things and that is the place he will like to take me and after, he can give me the money.”
“I asked him: So, is that the condition, no, I don’t think this sounds right. Initially, when he called he should have mentioned that. I wouldn’t even have given him attention, so I just backed off.”
According to eShun, the investor told her many ladies do that and she was not special than those ladies in the industry that he has helped.
“I didn’t even bother to ask him of the names of those women, I just hang up,” she said
