A creative arts business development and IP consultant who doubles as a lecturer, Dr Benjamin Oduro Arhin Jnr, popularly known as Bnoskka, has expressed the need for musicians to be arrested for fans’ indiscipline and unethical behaviours.
According to him, some artists incite their fans to cause public unrest, havoc, disturbances, and mayhem to drive their agenda.
Speaking in a Zoom interview on the Max Morning Show on Friday, Bnoskka explained that the rise in fan indiscipline should not be overlooked.
Some fans of artists cause harm and injury. If an artist didn’t form a fan club, such a thing wouldn’t have happened, so you also become liable. The artist should therefore apologise and write a letter whilst also making social media announcements to condemn the acts of fans,” he said.
Bnoskka maintained that a law expressed the need for an artist to be held liable for indiscipline actions led by fans, stressing the need for artists to call fans to order and constantly advise them against such unethical behaviours.
He said if an artist failed to call his fans to order, then the laws had to deal with the artist for inciting his fans to cause chaos.
In such situations, Bnoskka maintained that the artists could be the “brains behind the disturbances and the disorder”, which he said was against the criminal code of Ghana, and should be arrested for their inactions.
