In a heartfelt Facebook post this morning, Kao Denero, renowned Hip Hop artist and Sierra Leone’s Entertainment Ambassador, opened up about the challenges he faces, emphasizing the disregard for the struggles that led him to the pinnacle of musical success.
Expressing frustration at the lack of recognition for the sacrifices made, Denero highlighted the pressure that comes with his ambassadorial role, a position declined by others before him.
He urged critics to consider the absence of a government budget or regular salary in his work and reminded them of his resilience against political pressures.
Addressing the issue of being targeted for accepting a political appointment, he questioned why his personality is under constant attack, leading to a defensive response from his large fan base. Despite the challenges, Denero asserted that he is loved and admired, with a significant impact on the music scene for over two decades.
The artist pointed out his international recognition, noting that his name is known in cities like Accra, Lagos, Nairobi, Duala, and Monrovia. He highlighted his significant contributions to Sierra Leonean music, being the most featured act in its history.
Reflecting on what might have been in a more populated nation, Denero discussed the personal funds he invests daily in supporting the struggling youth in Freetown.
He appealed for kindness, acknowledging the heavy load he carries, and expressed gratitude for both foreign and local recognition throughout his career.
In conclusion, Ambassador Kao Denero urged for respect and acknowledgment of his hustle, extending wishes for a happy Sunday to his supporters.
