Kwaw Kese is a Ghanaian musician
Ghanaian musician Kwaw Kese has shared his thoughts on the transition of some artistes from rap to singing, insisting that some were never meant to be rappers in the first place.
Speaking in an interview on Hitz FM on February 16, 2026, Kwaw Kesse argued that certain musicians discovered their true calling only after experimenting with rap.
“They are not original. If they turn into singers, it allows the rappers to cash out. To me, I don’t think Kofi Kinaata and King Paluta were born to rap; they were born to sing. The rap was forced on them because of peer pressure and the people around them,” he said.

According to him, once they realized their natural strength was in singing, they never looked back and that decision elevated their careers.
“When they realized their true talent is singing, they never went back to rapping and they’re great. Now, if Kofi is rapping, people will not enjoy like they enjoy him singing. That’s his true call and it takes time for you to realize your true call,” he explained.
Kwaw Kesse noted that King Paluta’s recent success is tied to embracing singing fully.
“Like King Paluta, he was rapping all these years, but when he discovered his true call, which is singing, he blew up. It’s not about originality. He was born with singing and he didn’t know, so he was just beating around the bush with rap until he realized he wasn’t on the right path,” he added.
