Ghanaian singer KiDi says he has toughened up against flashy media headlines. During a TV interview with Ekow Koomson, he shared how he handles press coverage differently after nearly ten years in music.
KiDi admitted he once felt bothered when news outlets exaggerated stories about him or took his words out of context just to create buzz. He learned that entertainment media often cares more about attracting clicks than telling accurate stories. These days, he simply laughs at sensational headlines, knowing people will focus on something else tomorrow.
The musician discussed this change after the host mentioned a 2021 incident at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards. The media claimed that KiDi angrily left the ceremony when gospel performer Diana Hamilton won the top prize instead of him. This story spread quickly among fans and commentators at the time.
