Ghanaian rapper Okyeame Kwame
Renowned Ghanaian rapper Okyeame Kwame has opened up on his initial reaction when his colleague Obrafour released the diss track Kasiebo.
In an interview on Hitz FM on November 14, 2024, Okyeame Kwame stated that he was furious and even considered responding with a diss track of his own.
“I was angry at that time; I got very angry… I wanted to react, but Professor Asante, who was my academic teacher at the time, and my wife stopped me. I had already written books on diss songs. I wanted to take the same beat used in Kasiebo and diss him back,” he said.
However, Okyeame Kwame expressed gratitude to his wife and mentors for preventing him from engaging in the feud.
He acknowledged that had he responded, he would have lost his respect and a valuable friendship.
“My wife said I hadn’t done a song about Nkrumah or about God, so I shouldn’t be doing a song about him,” he added. “Among all the things I have done in my life, the only thing I am grateful for is not insulting him back. Because I would have lost my respect and a friend,” he added.
Obrafour released Kasiebo in 2017, featuring rapper Guru.
The track, which sparked much buzz in the industry, currently has over 477,000 views on YouTube.
