Fast-rising Gambian music star An2 has called on fans and critics alike to stop comparing him to fellow artist ST, saying such comparisons are unnecessary and disrespectful.
Speaking at his Talk of the Town album launch concert held at the GCCI Trade Fair Grounds, where ST was one of the guest performers, An2 addressed the issue directly.
“I don’t like seeing comments on my social media pages trying to compare me with ST,” he told the crowd.
The “Hasidol” hitmaker went on to describe ST as a legend, stressing that he does not see himself in the same league. He emphasized that he has nothing but respect for the Brikama-born rapper and appreciates his contribution to Gambian music.
An2 also used the moment to call for unity within the Gambian music industry. According to him, every artist has their own strengths, and the main focus should be on collaborating to propel Gambian music onto the global stage.
Meanwhile, An2 is set to travel to Europe this summer. The trip will include a Talk of the Town album launch concert in Italy, as part of his ongoing efforts to expand his international reach.
