Kojo Manuel Urges MCs And Hypemen To Let Their Craft Speak
Kojo Manuel
Ghanaian MC and hypeman Kojo Manuel recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to share some candid advice for his peers in the entertainment industry.

In a post that caught the attention of many, Kojo Manuel emphasized the importance of substance over showmanship. “Being an MC/Hypeman is not a popularity contest. Let your craft speak for you,Some of you are doing too much” he wrote.



The statement highlights a growing conversation in Ghana’s music scene, where hype and online popularity sometimes overshadow skill and performance. For Kojo Manuel, success as an MC or hypeman isn’t measured by followers or flashy moments, but by the ability to engage a crowd authentically and enhance the overall performance.

Fans and industry insiders have since reacted positively to the message, appreciating the reminder to focus on mastering the craft rather than chasing trends or social media validation.

Kojo Manuel’s post serves as both advice and a subtle challenge to fellow performers, refine your art, respect the culture and let your talent do the talking.
