Renowned Ghanaian musician Kofi Kinaata has shared his philosophy behind steering clear of songs that discredit others, opting instead to focus on uplifting and inspiring music.
In a recent interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM, Kinaata explained that he sees no value in creating diss tracks that could harm relationships within the music community.
He emphasised that such songs often lead to hurtful exchanges that can even extend to affecting one’s family.
“I want to prove people wrong, so I will not respond to a feud for you to insult my mother. I won’t reply to your diss song for you to get the nerves to make certain comments that will affect my family.
“I have to set a good example for the next generation. People prompt me about diss songs targeted at me all the time, but I don’t mind. If you have numerous hit songs as an artiste you won’t respond to such songs,” he said.
Kinaata’s stance reflects his desire to set a positive example for emerging artists, encouraging them to prioritise creativity and unity over negativity.
He highlighted that successful musicians with a string of hit songs typically avoid engaging in or responding to diss tracks.
Known for his integrity and music content that fosters unity, Kinaata’s approach stands out in an industry where feuds have become increasingly common.
