Kumasi — Entertainment figure MC Portfolio has come out strongly to chide the Kumasi Mayor, demanding respect for an industry he says puts food on the tables of millions. His fiery response follows remarks by the mayor that many industry players have described as dismissive and insulting.
Speaking with passion, MC Portfolio defended the creative and entertainment sector, insisting it is not a joke or a side hustle, but a serious industry that drives employment, culture, and economic growth. “This industry feeds families, creates jobs, and represents Ghana globally,” he fumed.
The comments have sparked heated debate on social media, with entertainers, fans, and stakeholders rallying behind MC Portfolio’s call for recognition and dignity. Many say the confrontation exposes a long-standing lack of respect for creatives by authorities.
As the backlash grows, calls are mounting for public officials to acknowledge the value and impact of the entertainment industry, which many argue deserves a seat at the table of national development conversations.
