Kuami Eugene has responded to a recent comment made by nine-year-old artiste Fotocopy about declining to do a song with the young boy.
Fotocopy had said in an interview on Bryt TV that he wanted to feature Kuami Eugene on a song but the ‘Angela’ hit maker turned down his request.
Kuami is said to have adduced as reason for rejecting the feature, Fotocopy’s low numbers.
The boy said he could not eat for a week because of the response Kuami supposedly made to him. He added that this even made him develop hatred for Kuami Eugene.
Fotocopy mentioned that what salved his pain and disappointment was a feature from Shatta Wale on the song ‘School Dey Bee’.
However, speaking on Joy Prime TV’s Prime Morning on Thursday, March 30, 2023, Kuami Eugene said he did not say anything bad to the boy.
“We took pictures and all. There is a video there, I was vibing with the boy. Do you think I would say such a thing to this young boy, hurt him so bad and still take pictures with him?,” he asked.
Narrating the incident, the Lynx Entertainment and Empire Music signee said he met Fotocopy and his father Qwaachi at the house of Richie Mensah’s mother at Osu.
When they requested for the feature, he told them they needed to formally discuss it his management.
“And I said it doesn’t work like that because I am from Fadama. I left the hood and I have over 50 boys that are left in the hood. I can pin point and name all of them, if I say I am featuring all of everyone, I trust me, the career will end, wey we all we nogo benefit like that from am,” he told Roselyn Felli and KMJ on Prime Morning.
“Kuami Eugene is not there to do features with everyone. It takes good conversation to have a feature,” he further noted.
The highlife singer explained that Fotocopy’s father Qwaachi may have thought that because he had a relationship with him, he could just pull off the feature with ease.
In the meantime, Kuami says he does not see a future collaboration with the young musician.
Foto Copy has songs like Megye Me Dow featuring Clemento Suarez and 2022 release, Tomorrow.
