Ghanaian Music legend, TiC known in private life and Nana Kweku Okyere Duah, has said creating employment opportunities through his chain of restaurants is fullfiling for him.
TiC who is still making waves in the music industry has opened another branch of his Gennex Pizza Restaurant and Grill at Weija, White Cross, in addition to others in Accra, Konongo and Kumasi.
Speaking to The Spectator, he revealed that in the coming days, he would open a new rest-stop on the Accra-Kumasi stretch.
He said it was fulfilling to be creating employment avenues for young people to also make a living.
“I started my music career at Dansoman, and I have a restaurant there, to say thank you to the people for all they did for me, I have opened other branches employing a lot of people, and this gives me joy and fulfillment,” he said.
TiC is of the view that this is his way of giving back to the society for the support he had received in his music career over the years.
This notwithstanding, he called on Ghanaians to patronise it, to make his dream of opening more doors for the youth a reality.
The ‘Kwani Kwani’ hit maker urged others in the music industry to combine entrepreneurship with music to propel their career to higher heights.

It was a night of intellect, eloquence and culture as contestants of the 2026 Miss Tourism Ghana took centre stage at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel for the Debate and Culture Night last Saturday.
The event, which forms part of activities leading up to the grand finale, saw the ladies move beyond beauty to battle with ideas, facts and opinions on a topic critical to the tourism industry.
The contestants debated the topic: The Importance of Traditional and Digital Media on Promotion of Tourism.
For the debate, the contestants were grouped into two teams of four, each tasked with defending a side of the argument.
It was a fierce but respectful exchange. The team arguing for traditional media described it as the trust builder, emphasising its credibility, mass reach, and its power to tell in-depth, emotional stories through television documentaries, radio and newspaper features.
They argued that traditional media still shapes public opinion and influences policy decisions in the tourism sector.
On the other side, the proponents of digital media raised salient points about its unmatched advantages in the modern era.
They highlighted its global reach at low cost, its two-way interaction that allows tourists to share real experiences and reviews, its ability to target specific audiences, and its measurable results where clicks, views and bookings can be tracked.
After heated arguments and rebuttals, both teams arrived at a powerful consensus that drew applause from the audience.
They concluded that without traditional media, tourism promotion lacks credibility and depth, and without digital media, it lacks reach, engagement and sales.
The judges and patrons agreed that the debate underscored a crucial lesson for Ghana’s tourism drive: for a country blessed with rich cultural heritage, colourful festivals, historic forts and castles, diverse wildlife and pristine beaches, the winning formula lies in combining the storytelling power of traditional media with the viral power of digital media to attract both domestic and international tourists.
The night was not only about debate, as the contestants also dazzled in cultural wear, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Ghanaian culture.
