Kuame Eugene has shed light on how he hopped on the remix of CKay’s Love Nwantiti which is presently the biggest tune on YouTube in terms of views.
“So when I first heard the song it was not even that big. CKay was a new artist, I was out there and Joeboy was out there. I initially went to the studio with another artist named Blaqbonez, and he was on the same label as CKay.
I did the feature for Blaqbonez, and CKay was like, ‘I’ve got a song and I’ll be pleased if you’d like to do a verse on it’. It was a nice song, so I did it! We shot the video in Lagos, and a year later, the song is EVERYWHERE in the world, every corner! I told my manager, ‘in this world, you don’t know who is gonna blow.
The Rockstar revealed this why explaining to Pan African Music (PAM) why he prefers to dominate and grow his relevancy locally than spreading his tentacles on the global stage in a recent interview.
In his words, ‘regardless of whatever happens, we get most of our money in Ghana.’ He further added;
There are some endorsement deals in our country. International companies that come to settle in Ghana are gonna ask who is the biggest here.
And I want them to hear Kuami, Kuami! When you come to Ghana, I’m on a billboard, I’m on radio, I’m on TV and it’s because I am what people locally want. I don’t want to leave, go international and lose what I have here. I need to figure out how to combine both and how to gain from both sides.
