Okyeame Kwame Idolises David Dontoh for His Influence

Okyeame Kwame

Okyeame Kwame has opened up about the real reason behind the split of the legendary Hiplife duo, Akyeame, comprising himself and Okyeame Kofi.

The rapper admitted that the group’s separation was largely his doing, driven by economic hardship and the urgent need to survive after returning from the United States.

“I caused the separation of the Okyeame group because I was so hungry after returning from the USA. My partner, Okyeame Kofi, was then working with Fox FM, so I had to move on to find shows to play.”

Okyeame Kwame

The Akyeame duo, once a household name in Ghana’s music scene, made a significant impact in the late 1990s and early 2000s with hits like ‘M’asan Aba’, ‘Brebre Obaa Hemaa’, and ‘Adonko’. They went ahead to be the first hiplife group to win the Ghana Music Awards, in addition to other awards.

Their lyrical chemistry and creative storytelling helped lay the foundation for modern Ghanaian Hiplife. However, fans were left puzzled when the group eventually went silent, sparking speculation about internal conflicts or fallout.

Okyeame Kwame’s latest revelation, however, sheds new light on the circumstances. His return from the United States, he explained, was met with tough financial realities.

At the time, his partner, Okyeame Kofi, had secured a stable job in Kumasi, which meant his availability for music and touring was limited.

With little income and mounting pressure to make ends meet, Okyeame Kwame made the difficult decision to pursue a solo career. “It wasn’t because we had a fight or anything like that,” he clarified.

“It was purely a matter of survival. I needed to find shows to play, money to eat, and something to keep me going. Kofi was doing well at Fox FM, but I didn’t have that luxury.”

The dissolution of Akyeame, though painful, paved the way for the rapper’s remarkable solo career, one that has earned him critical acclaim, national awards, and a reputation as one of Ghana’s most consistent music brands. Still, he looks back at the split with honesty and reflection.

The celebrated Ghanaian musician finally addressed the long-standing perception of a rivalry between himself and fellow Hiplife pioneer, Lord Kenya.

According to the award-winning rapper, any notion of conflict between the two was never rooted in reality but rather shaped by fan interpretations and industry narratives.

“There has never been rivalry between me and Lord Kenya. We’ve been brothers since day one. It was our fans who pitched us against each other.”

The statement comes as a refreshing revelation in a music industry often dominated by tales of artist feuds and competitive showdowns.

During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Okyeame Kwame and Lord Kenya were two of the most influential figures in Ghana’s Hiplife movement.

Their lyrical prowess, charismatic stage presence, and back-to-back hits naturally sparked debates among fans about who reigned supreme.

However, Okyeame Kwame insists that while friendly competition may have existed, it never escalated into personal animosity.

Lord Kenya, who has since transitioned from Hiplife to a gospel ministry, has also spoken in previous interviews about his deep respect for Okyeame Kwame. Their careers followed different paths, but the mutual admiration has remained intact.

This clarification from Okyeame Kwame sheds light on the often misunderstood dynamics within the music scene, where fan rivalries are sometimes mistaken for actual disputes among artists.

It also speaks to the maturity and enduring brotherhood between two legends who helped shape Ghana’s musical identity.
