Italian-based Ghanaian artiste and OGB Music boss, Ogidi Brown, has clarified that the monthly support he receives from the Italian government since his road accident is not hefty.

“The monthly payments I receive are not as massive as people think,” he told ZionFelix in an interview in Italy, pushing back against assumptions about life in Europe after such incidents.

His reason for providing this information is not immediately known at the time of filing this report.

However, Ogidi Brown has lauded the Italian government for taking personal interest in his well-being, unlike Ghana's government.

“I thank God it didn’t happen in Ghana. Some would even be glad to receive as little as GHS 10,000. Sadly, others don’t get any compensation at all,” he stated.

Adding to these benefits, Ogidi Brown revealed that the Italian government secured proper accommodation and provided him with a high-quality wheelchair, including a motorized device to aid his mobility.

“They gave me an expensive wheelchair, and every five years, I can apply for a new one,” he said.

The musician suffered a life-threatening accident in Italy in April 2015, which has sent him into a wheelchair. However, he has continued to make good music, sign other musicians onto his label, and help them gain limelight.

The entertainer revealed that it will be tough to choose between Ghana and Italy because both countries have become his home.

However, if pushed to the wall, then he will opt for Italy when it comes to his healthcare and then Ghana for his music career.

Ogidi Brown currently stays in Italy but visits Ghana often, as he owns and operates other businesses in the country.

According to him, he has come across numerous female acts who are very talented, but they often don't want to sign them due to the negative perception that comes along with it.

"The perception of intimacy out there has affected numerous talented female artistes and it is killing their talents."

"I would love to sign a female artiste but sometimes I think about what people would say even though such things might not even have occurred."

"For me, I think we should dwell on the talent of our female artistes and not invade on their private lives and I think it is not even wrong to have a relationship with your manager," he told Ghana News Agency.
