Ghanaian musician Kuami Eugene has praised Amaarae as a groundbreaking talent whose brilliance is finally catching the attention of mainstream audiences, recognition he believes is long overdue.
In a recent interview with Doreen Avio about Ghanaian artistes gaining international traction, Kuami Eugene showered admiration on Amaarae, referring to her as his “big sister” and an unacknowledged legend.
“Amaarae is my big sister. She’s a legend, though. But the funny thing is it has never been quiet with Amare. It’s just her circle… That’s where she finds herself,” he noted.
According to Kuami Eugene, Amaarae’s sound has always captivated a specific niche, alternative and global music fans, which may have limited her visibility within Ghana’s broader music scene.
“People she used to appeal to is not the regular Ghanaian masses. She’s been making waves since. It’s just quite sad that people are now getting to know Amare. But I’m excited they’re getting to know Amare now because the talent she has is insane,” he added.

While reflecting on Amaarae’s rise, Kuami Eugene also opened up about his own evolution, marked not just by his departure from Lynx Entertainment but also by a symbolic transformation in his appearance.
He recently debuted a completely new haircut, a departure from his signature twisted and braided styles, which he said represents a fresh chapter in his artistic and personal life.
“I woke up one morning and it’s been a long time, when I got signed to Lynx. It’s been changing hairstyle from one hairstyle to another hairstyle, but I’ve not had a down cut for a very long time, for about six years. I’ll twist it, then I will do this and I will unbraid it, leaving the afro. I changed it just to show a new look and the fact that it’s a new beginning for me from Lynx. It’s a transition from the Lynx boy to your family, sweet boy Kwami Eugene,” he explained.
The ‘Monica’ hitmaker made it clear that this transformation is not just cosmetic, it’s an intentional signal of growth and a pivot toward a more independent musical identity.
