Okyeame Kwame calms the 'Akyeame' break up storm

The recent outburst by Okyeame Quophi towards Okyeame Kwame has been weighed in by a number of fans of hiplife in the Ghanaian music industry as a 'highly disturbing' news.

Finally Okyeame Quophi has been able get off of his chest regarding the break up of Akyeame. But Okyeame Kwame who has shrugged off songs by Obrafour, Shatta Rako and others aiming at him, has given Ghana Music.com an exclusive of what he thinks of Okyeame Quophi's recent pronouncement.

The first question every media house or fan of Akyeame will ask is, why is Okyeame Quophi making such comments now?

“First of all, I think Okyeame Quophi loves me and has not seen or heard of me in a while. He knows there is a conflict between us and we have been slow about solving it but I know he loves me as a brother”, he said.

“By what he said on Rundown show with Yaw Sakyi as to why he is saying this after six years, I don't really know. The comments were rather private. As friends and brothers, some of the things were not right. I have contacted his senior brother who is a counselor and senior priest in the Methodist church. He has been a mentor to us, given us money and more and he will be taking up the issue to solve it, Kwame continued.

The group's chemistry has been intact according to Okyeame Kwame, despite the long break. “We have recorded some songs for a reunion album, I have paid Quophi to shoot a music video for a song on my album and more, he said.

Following the release of two publications on Ghanacelebrities and Ameyawdebrah.com, Okyeame Kwame further more said that “we have known each other over 17 years now. We have been true hard times which were blissful and creative moments. If there was anything between us, it was supposed to come me first. There is nothing that anyone will do and Quophi will say that will make me lose my temper over this issue".

Okyeame Kwame ended by adding that: “Am pleading with my fans to stop commenting on the whole issue but we will amicably solve it soon. Being friends for so long if we didn't fault each other it would be an unreal situation. However it is our ability to forgive that shows the God in us”.
