Ghanaian artist, Kweku Darlington has revealed that he has never kissed or had sexual intercourse, indicating that he is a virgin.
According to him, his major mission on earth is to create music. Hence, he is focused on the job and has no time to indulge in such activities.
The Kumasi-based rapper mentioned this concerning his new single titled ‘Grateful to Your Ex,’ explaining that the song is not based on his personal experience because he has never been in a relationship.
“I’ve not even dated before. I think I’m the only virgin left in Ghana right now. I’ve been on this set for more than 20 years, and I’ve never slept with any lady. I have a mission on this earth just to do music.”

He shook his head to a question of whether he has ever kissed.
The musician seeks to keep his body holy until marriage, but the song was produced for people who have experienced such relationships.
The purpose of the song is to encourage people who have broken up with their partners to appreciate their past relationships.
Similarly, the rapper stated that he is not focused on winning awards or receiving nominations. Instead, he aims to create relevant and timeless music that makes an impact on people’s lives.
“I just want to make good music; people listen to my songs; I get to perform on shows; I get my money; and I create deals with people,” Kweku Darlington said.
The composer of ‘Sika Aba Fie,’ meaning ‘Money Has Come Home,’ is of the view that artists who focus heavily on awards often experience emotional distress when they don’t receive them.
Musician Recounts How He Survived Sickness
Kumasi-based musician, Kweku Darlington recounted how he battled a deadly and strange ailment for over a year.
He narrated that he could neither do anything nor move out due to the severity of the disease, which was the reason he was musically silent for some time.
He did not take it seriously from the beginning until it increasingly became extremely dreadful. It was then he realized it was a spiritual attack and needed to seek attention immediately.
“It even came off my skin. It was so bad that I couldn’t even go out. I still have some of the marks on my skin. The whole idea was just to keep me inside so I couldn’t come outside because I’m dangerous when I’m outside. In a nutshell, I was buried with only my head out.”

According to Kweku Darlington, the condition stemmed from a breakup with some of his friends, who he said became enemies. He had moved to stay in Accra but relocated back to Kumasi to be properly healed.
Doctors and herbalists of the several medical and herbal centers he has been to, respectively, could not diagnose the kind of illness he was affected with to grant him medication.
“It wasn’t a hospital thing but spiritual because it started with my eye. I went to the clinic, and they did everything they could do but didn’t find the cause. They gave me drugs and injections, spectacles, and other things, but nothing happened.
“So, it was a congregation that I used to join back at Atwea Mountains; I was there some time ago, and they were able to identify what was happening to me. So, after identifying it, we had to clear all of them before I could take drugs.”

Asked if he offended someone to merit such an incident, Kwaku Darlington said he had a misunderstanding with a friend, which was not serious because it was a normal argument he thinks could not have been taken so far to that extent.
The musician is gradually healing as the rushes are still on parts of his body. But he has released a new song, “Grateful to Your Ex,” which seeks to encourage partners who have broken up to appreciate their past relationships.
