Hip-life musician, Emmanuel Botwe, popularly referred to as Kwaw Kese, has said President of the Union, Bice Osei Kuffour (Obour), “is a disappointment to all musicians.
According to him, since Obour assumed office, he has never taken any relevant decision to the benefit of musicians in Ghana.
“Seeing my brother occupying such position, I thought we were going to have something good from Obour, but he has disappointed us. To me, I don’t see Obour as my president,” he explained.
Kwaw Kese said this while speaking in an interview with KMJ on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM in Accra.
The ‘Man Insane,’ said Obour has been the President of MUSIGA for almost eight years and has not done any facelift to the Union’s office.
“Obour has never painted the place, doors are rusted and he has rented the place out to a church but we thought he was going to maintain the place,’’ he added.
However, Kwaw Kese further revealed that thoughts about his time in prison give him strength.
According to him, spending time in prison compounded by losing his manager months before that was the worst experience an artiste could endure in a single year.
He noted that in 2014, his manager, Fennec Okyere, was murdered, his wife divorced him and he was also incarcerated.
“With all these happening to me in a year and I still kept on doing me. I consider myself to be the strongest musician in Africa because it’s not easy and I thank God for that because we’ve heard of other people’s stories and they couldn’t continue,” he said.
Kwaw Kese indicated that he was no more a boy, but a man because he has faced a lot of challenges in life and has to keep his resolve and be responsible.
He advised that people should not expect the old Kwaw Kese because things have changed for the better.
