Lord Kenya and King Paluta
Former rap heavyweight turned evangelist, Lord Kenya, has expressed admiration for rising Ghanaian rapper King Paluta.
According to him, the young artiste reminds him of his own early days in the music industry.
In an interview on Kessben FM, Lord Kenya reflected on his journey and drew a clear connection between his younger self and the lyrical energy King Paluta brings to the microphone.
“One rising new artiste I see myself in is King Paluta. If you listen to his flow, it is much like my younger self,” he said.
Although Lord Kenya left secular music over a decade ago to pursue his Christian faith, he made it clear that his God-given musical talent remains intact.
He revealed he would be open to collaborating with King Paluta, under one condition.
“I have not stopped doing music because it is a talent God has given me. I will consider doing a track with King Paluta. But first of all, he has to take Christ as his personal saviour. Then, together, we can do a song to praise God,” Lord Kenya.
Lord Kenya, born Abraham Philip Akpor Kojo Kainya, shot to fame in the late 1990s with hits like “Sika Baa”.
Known for his dynamic stage presence and lyrical prowess, he became a household name and won numerous accolades, including Hiplife Album of the Year and international recognition.
Originally from Kumasi, Lord Kenya showed early promise in both athletics and music during his school years. Although his family hoped he would pursue a career in law, his passion for music ultimately prevailed.
In 2010, at the height of his musical career, he experienced a profound spiritual transformation.
He gave his life to Christ, renounced secular music, and became a born-again Christian. Today, he serves as an evangelist, using his life story as a powerful testimony of redemption and purpose.
