CEO of Fredyma Studios, Uncle Fred Kyei Mensah has urged Ghanaians to allow young musician Yaw Tog to make his own decisions when it comes to his education and career paths.
The music Producer popularly known as Fredyma who spoke on Onua Showbiz argued that there is no formula for finding money and that education is always available if someone decides to pursue it later on.
“carpe diem!! There’s no formula for finding money and education is always there, If I want to go to school today, I can go and continue,” he shared
Using himself as an example, the veteran industry stakeholder disclosed that he ended his education in 6th form at Prempeh College after his failure to enter medical school.
Despite the setback, he remain undeterred and pursued other interests which landed him in the field he finds himself in today.
Uncle Fred went on to explain that he has been approached by students from the School of Performing Arts to teach them for their thesis and project work.
“I completed 6th form and didn’t continue but if I tell you the people from the School of Performing Arts who come to me for me to teach them for their thesis and project work it’ll shock you,” he indicated.

Uncle Fred also pointed out that there are many options available for those who choose not to pursue a traditional education as there is no one-size-fits-all approach to finding success.
“If Yaw Tog says he’ll do business as opposed to studying let’s allow him. He can even go and work and come. These days there’s night studies and now there’s online. In this era most people are into entrepreneurship, the degree helps you embellish your status in public,” he added.
His message comes on the back of comments by the Ghanaian rapper who majors in the Ghanaian Drill music known as Asaka that he currently does not have plans on pursuing a university education.
The 20-year-old High Graduate shared his unconventional perspective in an interview with Hello FM in Kumasi.
“I am doing music, I am working at the moment, University won’t provide me with the means to sustain myself in life,” he shared
His comments did not sit well with a section of the Ghanaian public who attacked him for his comments.
