Ghanaian artist Kweku Flick, whose real name is Andy Osei Sarfo, has candidly shared how sports betting played a crucial role in the early stages of his music career. Before securing a management team, Kweku Flick used the winnings from his bets to fund his musical pursuits.
In a revealing interview with MzGee on the show ‘Just Being Us,’ Kweku Flick discussed his passion for sports betting, explaining how he would predict sports outcomes and place bets accordingly. The earnings from these bets provided much-needed financial support for his music career during a time when he had no management to back him.
