Celebrated Highlife musician, Rex Omar says Ghanaians misuse the word ‘Legend’. Therefore, he doesn’t even know whether to call himself a legend or not.

According to the Chairman of the Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO), being a legend means a lot. However, Ghanaians find it very easy to tag anyone legend. Moreover, this is whether the person has achieved something great in his/her field of profession or not.

He made these statements in an interview with Kasapafmonline’s Elikem Prince Akoenyenu

Rex Omar on misuse of the word legend

“I think the Legendary word has been overused in Ghana, generally, Ghanaians love titles. Sometimes when people call me Legend I don’t know whether I’m a Legend or not because I believe that when we say someone is a Legend, he or she is someone who has excelled in their field of endeavor in a very long time that they have had a positive impact in that sector. I can call Bob Marley a Legend because even after his death, his music still lives.”

Also, he touched on his favourite artiste in the Ghanaian music industry

“There are too many artistes right now who are doing so well but my number one, I mean my favorite is Mugeez. He’s doing very well and I like his songs very well because he’s original, his songs are lovable. You can see that this guy has a natural talent. Well, Bisa Kdei is good, Dada Hafco, Kidi, Kuami Eugene and the ladies, Adina and the rest. They’re all doing their parts in the most unique ways.”
