Rapper FimFim has countered public attacks on colleagues who are selling off their catalogues, saying they are not “dumb”.‎

‎
It could be recalled that a cross section of Ghanaians were after the tails of some musicians like Shatta Wale and Sarkodie for selling off their catalogues to a streaming platform.
‎
They believed that catalogue selling would destroy the culture and identity of Ghana, something the country should not encourage.
‎
As much as some catalogues might be personal to the artiste, FimFim said the musicians selling their catalogues had a motive and reasons behind their action.
‎
Speaking in an interview with Max Drive in Accra on Thursday, FimFim indicated that there were guidelines and reasons to make catalogue selling worth it.
‎
“Whether I will sell my catalogue or not will depend on certain things. First of all, I will look at my career and where I have reached. Do I need any extra funds to propel me to the next level?”
‎
“Certain catalogues are personal, so I will also consider how the catalogues are personal to me. For the duration, you can sell the catalogues for a period of time. I wouldn’t want to sell it forever or in perpetuity,” he said.
‎
The music producer maintained that those selling their catalogues had their own personal interest.
‎
I wouldn’t want to call those selling their catalogues as dumb because they also have their reasons for doing so,” he added.
