United States based Ghanaian singer, Amaarae has responded to critics who claimed her song is the biggest hit Ghana has ever produced.
It could be recalled that the songstress performed at the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival over the weekend.
During her performance she bragged about her song “Wasted Eyes” as the biggest hit Ghana has ever produced which did not go down well with some Ghanaians.
Addressing this in an X post on April 14, Amaarae clarified that her performance was the culmination of a lifelong mission to elevate Ghanaian music to the global stage.
“Can’t please everybody unfortunately. & usually, I don’t address this type of stuff but last night I gave my heart and soul to a cause I’ve worked towards my whole entire life and I’m elated with the result!!!! I’ve used my voice various times & as always people don’t have all the info but it is what it is !!!” she wrote.
Amaarae used her moment on the Coachella stage to put a spotlight on Ghana and even performed tracks by Joey B, the Asakaa boys, La Même Gang, and Eazzy.
Though she suffered criticism from some social media users, she was widely praised by most Ghanaians and some musicians including Sarkodie.
A section of the public also criticized her for what they termed as “silence” over some national issues like illegal mining.
