Highlife musician Kwabena Kwabena has stated he is not worried about the \u2018highlife king\u2019 status that was conferred on Kuami Eugene during the 2019 Ghana Music Awards.<\/p>\n

Asked if his decision not to be involved with the award scheme stems from the Kuami Eugene crowing moment, he answered in the negative.<\/p>\n

Kwabena Kwabena who has resolved not to take part in the TGMA again said in an interview with DJ Slim<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a matter of fact, I didn\u2019t have any issue with what the legend Amakye Dede did and with time he has come to speak to what actually transpired and everything that happened around the whole ceremony.<\/p>\n

And for me, I am an artiste, I enjoy music. I don\u2019t care about who is king or who is queen or who is a linguist. I only care about the art and its beauty. Kwame Eugene is a fine artiste and he has done some really great pieces out there. He is exciting and all of that. I can\u2019t have a problems with the fact that Nana Amakye decided to crown him. I don\u2019t have a problem with that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In 2023, highlife legend Amakye Dede said in an interview on Asaase Radio that he was forced to confer the said title on Kuami Eugene during the 2019 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards after the latter had won the Highlife Artiste of the Year award.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough I did that [crowned him], it was not my will to do that but they forced me to crown the boy. That\u2019s the reason I did that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven the crown they gave to me to put on his head, I gave it to someone to place it somewhere. But later, they gave it back to me to adorn him with it,\u201d Amakye Dede further stated in the interview.<\/p>\n

This is the first time Amakye Dede has passed a comment on this matter even though his manager Kwasi Aboagye of Peace FM gave the same explanation when the incident happened in 2019.<\/p>\n

In one of Kwasi\u2019s reports, he intimated that Kiki Banson, a member of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards Board and a coordinator of the event at the time, was the one that asked Amakye Dede to carry out the exercise on Kuami Eugene.<\/p>\n

For a lot of people, Kuami Eugene, although a hardworking and promising highlife artiste, was not ripe for the crown. They considered the act as premature and injurious to the future of the burgeoning highlife musician.<\/p>\n

Speaking to\u00a0JoyNews, Kuami Eugene refuted the rumours that the act was planned, adding that, it rather served as a blessing to him.<\/p>
