Ghanaian Highlife sensation Eugene Kwame Marfo, popularly known as Kuami Eugene, has hit back at critics who question his involvement in writing songs for gospel musicians, describing their comments as rooted in ignorance and hypocrisy.
Kuami Eugene, who penned popular gospel tracks such as Victory for Joyce Blessing and Watch Me for Empress Gifty, addressed the backlash during an interview with Amansan Krakye. He expressed his frustration at the baseless criticism he receives for collaborating with gospel artistes.
“When I hear someone criticize songs I wrote for gospel musicians, it boils down to two things: ignorance and hypocrisy,” Kuami Eugene remarked.
He explained further, saying, “It’s ignorance because such people don’t understand what they’re saying, nor do they have any real knowledge about songwriting or the music industry. And it’s hypocrisy because, if they had the talent or ability to write songs for gospel musicians, they wouldn’t condemn my work.”
The Rockstar hitmaker questioned the double standards of critics, challenging the notion that his status as a secular artiste disqualifies him from contributing to gospel music. “What’s the difference between us who do secular music and those who do gospel music? We’re all creating music to inspire and uplift,” he pointed out.
Kuami Eugene’s statements reflect his resolve to bridge the perceived gap between secular and gospel music, emphasizing that talent and creativity should be celebrated rather than criticized, regardless of genre.
