Ghanaian highlife singer and songwriter Ronald Kwaku Dei Appiah better known by his stage name Bisa Kdei has spoken against having too many friends.

He asserts that bringing such an unspoken number of people into your life leads to ruin.

Guesting in an interview, he was asked about the rumor that he killed his mother.

He responded by saying;

“It was actually very funny. My disposition won’t allow me to do some things else I would have mentioned names and said some things but it’s not important.

“It got to a point my own people started accusing me of acquiring wealth by using black magic”.

The ‘Mansa’ hitmaker categorically said:

“Your biggest weakness as a human is to make people give you knowledge about your finances and how you make money. When people don’t know details of your finances you’re safe”.

He continued by saying that when one is broke, nobody knows and when one is rich, nobody knows.

Bisa Kdei stressed again that bringing people into one’s matters ‘will be your biggest failure’.

He added that living by this philosophy is what led people to attribute his financial status to so-called ‘blood money’.

“People see me moving all the time and they don’t know my source of energy so then they’ll attribute it to a lot of things”.

The record producer and singer-songwriter cited how recently some people said he and a friend is into the cocaine business and it is so funny to him.

The singer was asked if he had come into any fiscal abundance and he responded in laughter saying;

“That’s not the case. It’s just the way you carry yourself. For sure people are going to say a lot of things, but at the end of the day, it’s you and your God; you alone know what you’re going through”.

He pointed out another rumor, sucking his teeth, and noted;

“People say I killed my mother. It hurts but then again, I came to realize it is human nature. There is nothing absolutely you can do about it. No matter what you do, they’ll talk about you. You just have to stay lowkey and do your thing.

“Keep to yourself and don’t be overly social and available because it’s not everything that others should see to talk about. If you allow people into your life too much, that’s what put your private life affairs to the public”.

Advocating for keeping to oneself, he emphasized controlling the number of friends one has and added that it was important because these very friends will destroy you and you will be shocked.

The musician’s mother, Josephine Bruce, died due to an undisclosed ailment on Wednesday, August 19, 2015, at the cocoa clinic at North-Kaneshie, Accra.

The video for what would become Bisa Kdei’s biggest hit ‘Mansa’ was released earlier that day. Later that same year, he scored another giant hit with ‘Brother Brother’.

In a 2019 interview held, Bisa Kdei said he believes his mother’s passing drew sympathy from the public which resulted in the wide acceptance of the ‘Mama’ song. He added the song opened doors for him beyond Ghana, taking him to many Francophone countries.
