Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ghanaian highlife and Afrobeats musician, Kuami Eugene, has reacted to backlashes concerning his fashion preferences.
The Lynx signee has been criticized by some fans and critics who feel his outfits are too flashy and unfit for a public figure.
In an interview on the Delay Show, Kuami Eugene defended his fashion sense, saying it was a crucial aspect of show business.
“I will say some of the things that I do to for examples the Rags to Riches look was intentional because I’m coming out with an album titled Rags To Riches that speaks about me from the slums wher I came from to me being the Kuami Eugene I am today so one of me was representing the streets and one part representing the riches that’s how come I was a clean and rugged outfit,” he explained.
The singer highlighted that he was not disturbed by the comments and was solely focused on his music and brand. The musician has won numerous honors, including the VGMA Artiste of the Year in 2020.
According to Kuami Eugene, his style is an essential component of his brand and that as an artist, he should be able to express himself through his own distinctive fashion choices.
“I know how to dress, I’m an Akyem man. My fashion sense is not to impress others. It’s showbiz, sometimes getting people to talk is part of it” he added.
Kuami Eugene also noted that those who constantly criticize his appearance and contrast him with Kidi also flip around to make fun of his fashion sense.
“The same people criticizing me were also laughing at Kidi that he’s gone to wear ‘Tunabu’ so you can’t really put their thinking a bracket,” he said.
