People are angry (like literally really actually real-life angry) that Sarkodie is offering to pay creatives in “Exposure” Ghana Cedis, rather than in actual Ghana Cedis. The entire fracas begun when Sarkodie put out this post, calling on creatives to submit their designs, if they were interested in their art being used in a music video for free.

The philosophers were not to be left out
