Ghanaian singer and 2025 TGMA Unsung Artiste of the Year, Yaw Darling, has rendered an unqualified apology to Patapaa for making an analogy involving his name.
This comes after Yaw Darling stated in an interview that he prefers to be compared to Kuami Eugene, who is also a singer, rather than Patapaa.
Clarifying his statement in an interview with Amansan Krakye, the ‘TGIF’ hitmaker said he had no intention of disrespecting or tarnishing Patapaa’s brand.
He remarked, “We all make mistakes when speaking, and I’m still growing, so I keep learning. Let me take this opportunity to apologise to Patapaa for what I said.
“I’m very sorry. I even mentioned that I would make a video to apologise to my senior man because he paved the way for us from the Central Region.
“There is no way I would deliberately say something to hurt or disrespect someone. I’m just starting out, and when you hurt someone, you need to apologise.
“I don’t know if my message will reach Patapaa personally, but I’m truly sorry—I didn’t intend to troll him with the Kuami Eugene analogy,” he added, as reported by MyNewsGh.com.
He continued, “It just came out that way, and I regret making the statement. I never meant to say anything negative or disrespectful about Patapaa.”
