Amerado has revealed why he released ‘Date Rush’, a few days after King Paluta had released his mega hit song, ‘Makoma.’
After the release of Amerado’s ‘Date Rush’, some social media users suggested that he should have waited for King Paluta’s ‘Makoma’ to enjoy some monopoly on the music marketing before dropping his song. According to these critics, they believed the weight of King Paluta’s song would submerge Amerado’s.
However, speaking to Joy FM‘s Kwame Dadzie on Showbiz A-Z, Amerado recounted the back story of the two releases.
Myself and my team, we have plans. Sometimes people make it seem they think about you more than you think about yourself, which is very bad.
I was going to release a song I have with King Paluta on that Friday King Paluta dropped ‘Makoma’. We were going to drop ‘Playman’, and Paluta told me he was going to drop a song on that day. So I agreed that he should release his song on that day so that I drop mine a week after his,” he said.
The ‘Kwaku Ananse’ hit maker further explained that he couldn’t have pulled the reins on his plans because of the release plans of other musicians.
“I am not a magician, I didn’t know ‘Makoma’ was going to be too big, and the fact that ‘Makoma’ took over doesn’t mean that it should mess up my plans. Because out of all the big songs I have dropped including ‘Abronoma’, the ‘Date Rush’ song has the most interactions on TikTok.
The fact that we are playing King Paluta doesn’t mean we cannot play ‘Amerado’. We cannot play one person’s song all the time. Also, not every song will be a monster hit. Even with the likes of Daddy Lumba and Amakye Dede, some of their songs are bigger than others,” he indicated.
In the meantime, Amerado has released a 5-track EP titled ‘The Gold Coin.’
