“I Paid Payola with Fried Rice and Chicken—Trigmatic Reveals”

Ghanaian musician Trigmatic’s journey in the music industry is full of interesting stories, but one stands out for its humor and creativity.
During an interview on Showbiz A-Z with Kwame Dadzie, the musician shared how he promoted his music in the early days—not with connections or cash, but with fried rice and chicken.
Trigmatic added a hilarious twist, recalling how junk food shaped relationships at the time. “A lot of people have their parents today because of junk food,” he joked. His story is a reminder of how resourcefulness and a bit of charm can go a long way.
