Host of Hitz FM’s morning show, Andy Dosty, has disclosed that he was the one who advised the hiplife duo Bradez to part ways with their elder brother, Okyeame Kwame, professionally.
Speaking on Daybreak Hitz, Andy made this revelation while also extending an apology to Okyeame Kwame for encouraging such a decision.
“I had to whisk him away because I felt like his clouds were hovering, and at a point, I needed the boys to break out. It was like Okyeame Kwame and the Bradez, so I called him and said, ‘leave there, move away’, let the boys be, they will survive,” Andy said.
Okyeame Kwame, who was a guest on the show said even though he was initially hesitant about letting Bradez do their independent projects, he later realised the separation yielded positive results.
“I had plans, and I was attached to the plans. Kunta was like my son; when my father died, I raised him. I had vision, I had ideas that this guy was going to be the musician I never was.
I think it was the best advice you gave to us because it worked,” he said.
Dosty elaborated on his rationale behind his action, emphasising the importance of Bradez’s independence from Okyeame.
“Without Okyeame Kwame, they can now be independent and help him focus on his music,” he noted.
The duo, consisting of Flowking Stone and Kunta Kinte, initially built on the success of their elder brother, Okyeame Kwame, also known as the “Rap Doctor,” frequently featuring in many of his hit songs.
Bradez eventually captured the hearts of music lovers with their own chart-topping tracks, including Simple, Dondo, One Gallon, and Flashe, among others.
