Ghanaian musician, Kuami Eugene has shared heartfelt insights into his love for children and his dedication to giving back to society.
The Highlife and Afrobeats star revealed how his childhood experiences shaped his desire to support children.
“I think every child deserves everything they can get in life. But then again, that’s not what’s happening,” he said, reflecting on his upbringing.
“I was raised by really good parents, but they didn’t have that ‘Kuami money.’ We used to live in the streets, so I didn’t get to do the children’s park or enjoy those childhood experiences.”

This upbringing inspired Kuami Eugene to create opportunities for children to experience joy, especially during festive seasons.
He announced an upcoming Christmas event that would be both fun and affordable for families.
“I told myself that if I get to a level where I can handle something like that, I’d try as much as possible to spend a day with all the kids and make it very affordable.”

The singer shared his motivation for pricing the event affordably.
“It’s not about the money. If I’m able to get like 20,000 kids excited in one day, I think the blessings from God are worth more than the money.”

Kuami Eugene’s deep faith in God also shone through during the conversation.
When asked about his rumored gospel project, he revealed that he has a gospel album from before he signed with Lynx Entertainment.
“It’s an entire gospel album, and it’s still there. Sometimes I sell songs from it, and sometimes I give them out for free if God directs me to because it could change someone’s life.”

He emphasized his belief in extending kindness, saying, “I think every blessing God gives to us doesn’t come directly. It comes through others.”
“Richie Mensah, for instance, saw this poor boy from the street and made him who I am today. So it’s my job to extend hands to others who can’t afford it, not because I need money, but because I want to do it.”

Kuami Eugene on Public Perception About Him
The multiple award-winning Ghanaian singer opened up about his public perception and the challenges of navigating social media opinions.
The talented artist shared his thoughts on how he’s perceived both online and offline.
“In reality, I’m actually loved. You love me, right? I love you guys too,” he said with a smile, addressing the live audience.
However, he was quick to contrast this reality with the negativity he sometimes encounters on social media. “Not entirely, not on social media, but in reality, I’m actually loved.”
The Lynx Entertainment signee also reflected on the misconceptions people have about him.
“Trust me, I’ve had conversations with people, and they think I’m that aggressive, hardcore kind of guy. But personally, I don’t think I’m like that.”

The host affirmed his sentiments, adding that those who judge him harshly likely don’t know him personally.
Kuami Eugene noted that platforms like TikTok amplify these misconceptions, explaining how even casual users can wield significant influence.
“TikTok gives everyone leverage. There’s no big difference between a normal blogger and a girl on TikTok. Sometimes these young girls even have more numbers than your bloggers.”
