Rapper Edem believes fan armies do not necessarily define how big artists are.
Using Nigerian superstar Burna Boy as a prime example, Edem said that Burna Boy surpasses all Ghanaian artists in terms of prominence and global impact, despite not having a formally recognized fan army.
“Nobody knows what Burna Boy’s fan army is, but Burna Boy is bigger than any Ghanaian artist,” he said.
“Ideologies and ideals give the fans a very myopic mindset to think that you can push one artist so much to get ahead of another and that makes you a better army,” he added.

Edem believes that fan armies often hold a narrow view, focusing on pushing one artist ahead of others, but he stresses that it’s the artists’ ideologies and ideals that truly matter and contribute to their success.
