Ghanaian musician Kuami Eugene has revealed that he is still dealing with the consequences of his feature on Sarkodie’s 2020 track, ‘Happy Day’.
Speaking in an interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM, the singer disclosed that the song, which was widely interpreted as an endorsement of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), continues to cause him problems four years after its release.
Eugene explained that when he was approached to feature on the track, he was unaware of its political undertones.
According to him, Sarkodie’s team initially pitched a different theme for the song.
After recording the chorus, however, the song’s direction changed, with many listeners perceiving it as a political endorsement of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the NPP, a stance Kuami Eugene insists he never intended to support.
“I am still suffering from it, and I had no idea what conversation sparked the fact that it should be Kuami Eugene, but after I did the chorus out of the first verse I heard from my senior man (Sarkodie), it ended up that way,” he said.
