    ‘Talent isn’t enough’ – Richie Mensah explains why some talented artistes fail

    Ghanaian music producer Richie Mensah discussed why he believes skill is not enough to succeed in the music business.

    He asserts that although talent is important, success requires other factors as well.

    Mensah has worked with some of the biggest names in the business, including MzVee, KiDi, and Kuami Eugene. He has identified four essential components that he feels are necessary for success.

    He talked about marketability, discipline, common sense, and industry expertise. He emphasised that these elements frequently matter more than just talent.

    Richie clarified in a Instagram video that a lot of gifted artists fall short because they do not have these fundamental abilities.

    Mohammed Kudus, a Ghanaian sensation, made history at West Ham United by surpassing all other Ghanaian players in scoring records.

    Despite his incredible accomplishment, West Ham lost a heartbreaking seven-goal thriller to Newcastle United.

    Kudus’ goal was a major turning point in the match, even though the loss was disappointing because it made him the highest-scoring Ghanaian player for West Ham, surpassing fellow countryman Andre Ayew.

    Surprisingly, Kudus accomplished this feat in just 35 games with 13 goals, as opposed to Ayew’s 12 goals in 50 appearances. Furthermore, Kudus has the most goal contributions of any Ghanaian in the Premier League—11 total—consisting of seven goals and four assists.

    Kudus has demonstrated his ability with a total of 13 goals in all competitions, showcasing his skill in the UEFA Europa League and the EFL Cup, among other competitions.

    Kudus’ incredible accomplishments and unwavering willpower shine through despite the disappointment of the loss, securing his place as a rising star in the Premier League and a vital asset for West Ham United.
