Ghanaian musician Kuami Eugene
Kuami Eugene has shared heartfelt insights into his love for children and his dedication to giving back to society.
The Highlife and Afrobeats star revealed how his childhood experiences shaped his desire to support children.
“I think every child deserves everything they can get in life. But unfortunately, that’s not always the case. I was raised by really good parents, but they didn’t have that ‘Kuami money.’ We used to live on the streets, so I didn’t get to go to children’s parks or enjoy those typical childhood experiences,” he said.
This upbringing inspired Kuami Eugene to create opportunities for children to experience joy, especially during festive seasons.
He announced an upcoming Christmas event that would be both fun and affordable for families.
“I told myself that if I ever reach a level where I can organize something like that, I’d try my best to spend a day with all the kids and make it very affordable.”
The singer explained his motivation for pricing the event affordably, saying, “It’s not about the money. If I’m able to get 20,000 kids excited in one day, I think the blessings from God are worth more than the money.”
Kuami Eugene’s deep faith in God also came through during the conversation. When asked about his rumored gospel project, he revealed that he had a gospel album before he signed to Lynx Entertainment.
“It’s an entire gospel album, and it’s still there. Sometimes I sell songs from it, and sometimes I give them out for free if God directs me to, because it could change someone’s life,” he explained.
He emphasised his belief in extending kindness, saying, “I think every blessing God gives us doesn’t come directly. It comes through others.
“Richie Mensah, for instance, saw this poor boy from the street and made me who I am today. So, it’s my job to extend a hand to others who can’t afford it, not because I need money, but because I want to do it.”
