Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Kuami Eugene (real name Eugene Kwame Marfo) has made the shocking claim that his featured appearance on Keche’s 2020 smash song “No Dulling” was really his idea.
Kuami revealed this information to the 3Music staff of Culture Daily.
The Artiste of the Year at the 2020 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards was talking about the pros and cons of being signed to a record company vs being an independent artist.
He admitted that a label artist has limited creative control over his work, especially in terms of the amount and kind of songs he may release, but that there are times when he can do everything he wants.
When asked to name one of those times, he did so.
“Okay,” he showed hesitation: “Let me say this thing about ‘No Dulling’. The label was very mad with ‘No Dulling’. They’ll kill me if I say it.”
“They very mad with ‘No Dulling’ because ‘No Dulling’ was my song. The chorus and everything was done and when Keche came, I just made them do their verses and within a week, boom, the song was out there.”
The label executives said, “You are really stubborn,” he held his ear.
“That song was a really good one,” Lerny Lomotey commented.
“That iss a jam!” C-Real said.
When MzGee exclaimed, “It became like the rebirth of Keche,” her aforementioned colleague presenters agreed but Kuami responded: “I have no idea about that.”
“Herh, that song! You kill am,” Jay Foley, at the head of the table calmy but meaningfully remarked.
Amid the compliments, the Kuami Eugene nicknamed Rock Star, kept saying, “They [Lynx Entertainment] were very upset.”
They had hoped he’d preserve the tune for a Lynx release.
Keche won both the Group of the Year and Hiplife Song of the Year awards at the 2021 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs) for ‘No Dulling’ song.
