McBrown and Onua Showtime viewers shower praise on TiC for awesome display and delivery
Viewers of Onua Showtime with Nana Ama McBrown last week showered praises on Ghanaian music icon TiC for leaving captivating memories on the show.
The musician and entrepreneur, TiC had his turn on the show last Sunday
As the itinerary of the show has been, the musician was first ushered in amidst breathtaking performance as he took the in-studio audience and the viewing public at home through his musical journey with a blast from the past.
He thrilled them with some songs from his repertoire.
This was followed with a discussion segment where he shared his over three decades knowledge in the art, entertainment and entrepreneurship with them.
Speaking on a topic premised on what artistes need to do to sustain their relevance and release hits songs without ceasing, TiC charged DJs to play songs objectively.
“It is good for an artiste to show appreciation to you for supporting him, but you don’t have to like te song before you play it, play it for the public, you may not like it, but the public may enjoy it,” he advised.
He acknowledged that DJs must be motivated by something, either the goodness of the song or some form of appreciation, but the judgement, must be left to the general public.
Using his Kangaroo hit song as an example, he said the some DJs did not like the song when he first release it, however, he urged them to play it for the public and not themselves.
After consistently playing the song, it became number song in Ghana, Africa and made it to MTV Base chart No 1 for four weeks and No.9 on the MTV World chart.
The music icon, also advised artistes on how to maintain their brands and build relationships.
His submission intermittently received applauds from audience in the auditorium.
He ended with an awe-inspiring live band performance when he played some of hit song, Kwani Kwani part 2, Pene Ma Me and brand new song, Wayo which featured Joe Frazier and Samuel G.
An elated Nana Ama McBrown expressed his appreciation to TiC for such insightful conversation and stupendous performance.
Many viewers and entertainment industry players also through their reviews on social media commended the musician for awesome display and delivery.

Popular Ghanaian content creator, Elvis Frimpong, known in showbiz circles as Osanju has been reported dead.
According to sources, he was said to have died in the early hours on Monday, September 1, 2025 after a long battle with blood cancer (Leukemia)
His death has been a shock in the Ghanaian community especially coming shortly after his last post.
His demise comes five months after he had laid his mother, Amounu, also a tiktoker, to rest, having lost her in January.
Hours before his passing, he had posted a video on Sunday with friends watching the Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano match, prompting many fans to initially dismiss the reports as a hoax.
Osanju’s death has been described as a huge loss by followers who admired his openness, resilience and positive outlook in the face of ill health.
However, Osanju had previously shared his battle with leukemia, a cancer of the blood, on his TikTok account, even eerily predicting his own demise on a couple of occasions.
