“I am telling you that I brought Kyeiwaa to join the movie industry. Everybody knew she was doing Akan drama. She was staying behind my house so she got to know me and we started engaging.

"Initially, when I was in a band group she was part of my concert team. It got to a point when the movie producers needed someone to play a role and I recommended her to them and insisted that she should be part of the team,” he said.

He continued: “She [Kyeiwaa] did not have a place to stay in Kumasi so she had to stay with Mercy Asiedu temporarily before she later got a place for herself. So in terms of the movie industry, I was the one who brought her to Kumasi to start acting.”
