“People Not Catching Up To My Talent Was Never A Problem” — Camidoh

Ghanaian singer Camidoh says he always believed global recognition would eventually come his way, even during moments when many people failed to appreciate his talent.

Speaking in an interview with Kafui Dey, the Sugarcane hitmaker revealed that he drew inspiration from the early struggles of Nigerian superstar Burna Boy while chasing his own breakthrough. According to Camidoh, watching Burna Boy’s rise from difficult beginnings convinced him that delayed recognition was not a sign of failure.

“We were listening to Burna Boy back in school and we all thought he had amazing talent and the world should have been seeing him from that time, but it took time,” he said.

Camidoh recalled how people mocked Burna Boy after reports emerged that fans failed to show up at one of his performances in Ghana years ago, yet he and his friends still admired the artiste’s music privately.

“People like myself and Neptune would share earpiece and listen to his music walking down the street,” he recounted.

The singer said that experience shaped his confidence and belief in his own journey despite not receiving immediate mainstream attention. “People not catching up to my talent is not a problem, because very soon the world is going to see me,” Camidoh stated.

He added that the success of Sugarcane eventually became the breakthrough moment that introduced him to a wider international audience.

Camidoh described the hit song as a turning point that “opened the doors to the next chapter” of his career, while insisting that he still has much more to offer beyond the record.
