Ghanaian rapper Kwame Nsiah
Apau, known by his stage name as
Okyeame Kwame, has explained
that he believes Lord Kenya’s
claims that he waiting on the holy
spirit to drop another hit song.
Speaking on the Cosmopolitan Mix
with Amanda Jissih on Joy FM
Tuesday, he admitted that he
equally gets inspired by the Holy
Spirit when writing his lyrics and
added that it is something every
artiste experiences.
Recently, Lord Kenya disclosed
that he hasn’t released any hit
song for six years because he is
waiting for inspiration from the
Holy Spirit.
Okyeame Kwame reacting to this
comment said, “Sometimes, yes.
You know, every artiste is inspired
by spirits. They’re called the muse.
And they are nine spirits that will
come and visit you whiles you’re
writing or sleeping to come and
inspire you.”
He added that “Well I think that for
an artiste to say that he’s waiting
for a spiritual muse to inspire him,
yes.
But, beyond that inspiration is
the promotion, marketing,
branding, secondary association,
and all those things the Holy Spirit
will not do for you. But what he’s
saying is really relevant. The Holy
Spirit can inspire him to write the
same way it arrested him.”
The ‘Faithful’ hit singer reminisced
how he used to know Lord Kenya
back in the day highlighting some
of his bad smoking and drinking
habits.
He added that he believes the
former rapper especially because
of how he could quit smoking and
drinking abruptly without any
medical help.
“You know, speaking about Lord
Kenya is a little bit sensitive
because I have known Lord Kenya
since 1988 and I have known how
bad, how rude, how crazy, how bad
he was since 1988.
“Yes, because I was in the same
class with Lord Kenya in 2003 at
KASS and the Economics teacher
asked him, ah Kenya, are you still
a bad boy? He stood up and said
yes sir,” he said.
“And that was how bad he was. So,
for him to say that I’ve been
smoking weed for twenty years and
have stopped without any
counseling or medication, I really
think that has really changed so
when I’m talking about him, I
massage it properly because I
know him.
And the way he used to drink
alcohol and the amount of smoke
he consumed, there’s no way any
man can change from that without
professional help,” he narrated.
