Amakye Dede Was Forced To Crown Kuami Eugene As King Of Highlife – Akwaboah
Akwaboah has revisited the way and manner Amakye Dede crowned the reigning VGMA artist of the year,Kuami Eugene as the future of highlife music.
Recall that before last year’s VGMA was eventually brought to an end by Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy’s awkward attitude, Amakye Dede in his performance on stage crowned Kuami Eugene as the new highlife king and the future of the genre.
After the event, Ghanaians questioned the music maestro that in what capacity did he crown Kuami Eugene as the future of highlife music. Speaking on the issue for the second time, Akwaboah in an interview with Kwaku Manu revealed that Amakye Dede was very wrong by giving that mantle to Kuami Eugene.
“I don’t think Amakye Dede would pick a crown from the house, mount a stage and crown Kuami Eugene as the future of Highlife music. It was staged and you could clearly see it on the stage,” he said.
