Veteran Ghanaian rapper Nii Addo Quaynor, popularly known as Tinny, has shared his thoughts on the idea of mentorship in the music industry.
According to him, mentorship should not be forced on anyone.
In an interview on 3FM, Tinny said even though mentoring young artistes is a good thing, he believes it is a natural calling and not everyone is cut out for it.
Tinny said, people should not feel pressured to mentor others if it does not come naturally to them.
He warned that forcing such connections could lead to negative outcomes and that mentorship should be based on genuine connection and purpose.
“I believe that thing (mentorship) comes naturally. Don’t force it to happen. If you force it to happen, you’ll end up just like a Catholic priest who commits adultery.
“It is not your calling, it comes natural so don’t force yourself to mentor someone or to give a crown to someone. And it is not everyone who deserves a mentoring crown. Mentoring somebody is on point, it is cool but eno be gidigidi like that,” he said.
After taking a break from the music scene for a while, the rapper disclosed that he is currently back in the studio and preparing to release a new album.
“Conquer dropped recently, Barrier is here, I am working on my album which is about to drop and building up to the album, like four to five tracks will follow before the album comes,” he stated.
