While some have lashed out at the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) for not assisting hiplife musician Kwadee during his low moments, Abena Ruthy, the 2nd Vice President of MUSIGA has indicated that the artiste is not a member of MUSIGA.
She however noted that the union has supported Kwadee in the past and intend to do so again on humanitarian grounds.
"There was news about Kwadee recently. He is not even a member now. But our President was on us to link him up to Kwadee. So that is the kind of thing we are doing. We are a family," she said in an interview with Kwame Dadzie on Joy FM's Showbiz A-Z.
Abena further said that MUSIGA is a welfare group that is dedicated to improving the living conditions of its members. She therefore urged MUSIGA members to contribute to their welfare and insurance policies.
According to her, there is a misconception that every artiste automatically belongs to MUSIGA.
"There is a narrative out there that so far as someone sings, everybody thinks that you are part of us. So we have members in good standing. So as it stands he is not a member in good standing.
In 2018, the Musicians Union of Ghana led by Ras Caleb Appiah, visited Kwadee at the Willing Ways Foundation rehabilitation centre in Kumasi and made some donations to him.
In he meantime, there are reports that Kwadee's mental health has deteriorated again.
