Since yesterday, the dispute has sparked interest from players in the entertainment industry and beyond, with many launching a ‘Compensate Ayat’ social media campaign.
Ghanaian musicians Sarkodie and Pure Akan joined the conversation today.
Sarkodie took to Twitter and wrote:
“We ( creatives ) do a lot to put our country out there, attracting a lot of tourists x investors that translates to money to help nation building yet that’s one sector with no support… I feel my brother and support him especially if he actually reached out and didn’t get help.”
Pure Akan also showed his support by tweeting: “Compensate Ayat”
