In response to the allegations raised by Kuami Eugene’s former housekeeper, Mary, detailing the challenges she faced while working for him, the highlife singer seems to have crafted a musical reply titled ‘Onyame ehu wo.’
This song, inspired by a piece from the legendary KK Kabobo, serves as a platform for Eugene to express his feelings and position on the issue. Through the lyrics, he conveys a blend of regret, disappointment, and a sense of broken trust.
In ‘Onyame ehu wo,’ Kuami Eugene reflects on the consequences that individuals who engage in such actions may face, emphasising that divine punishment often awaits those who betray trust. The song serves as a medium for the artist to communicate his perspective on the matter in musical form.
“In whatever you’re doing, remember that God is watching you. Remember, God is watching you if you are fond of embarrassing your fellow humans by spewing lies and backbiting them. God is watching you.
“Think about it. If you will change, change because God is watching you. You act as though you love me, but in your heart, you hate me. What didn’t I do for you? But you’re going around talking about me. Spewing lies about me, what you are doing is one of the things God hates the most,” parts of the lyrics read.
Prior to the development, Eugene took to Twitter to share an indirect jab at his house help after her first batch of rants in an interview with Der Mad King TV went viral.
He took to social media with a response which read, ‘Nipa bi y3 cobra, an Akan phrase that translates to ‘Some humans are snakes.’
Background
In Mary’s two widely circulated interviews, she provided insights into the reasons behind her dismissal from Kuami Eugene’s residence, citing allegations of neglect, among other issues.
Initially, Mary candidly acknowledged her role in the strained relationship, attributing Kuami Eugene’s change in behaviour to her inability to effectively carry out certain tasks. According to her, this became a point of contention, leading to the deterioration of their working relationship.
Mary, who is no longer employed by Kuami Eugene, revealed that she was presented with two options: either accepting a reduction in her salary from GH₵600 to GH₵400 or vacating the premises.
She went on to share instances where she experienced health challenges, collapsing in the highlife musician’s house due to inadequate nutrition and other undisclosed reasons.
These revelations from Mary shed light on the complexities that contributed to her departure from Kuami Eugene’s household and the challenges she faced during her tenure.
