Ghanaian Reggae artiste Ras Kuuku has disclosed that he initially had a verse on Kofi Kinaata‘s popular 2023 track ‘Effiakuma Love,’ which was later removed for reasons unknown.
Speaking in an interview on Hitz FM on May 23, 2024, Ras Kuuku shared that he originally produced a verse for the song back in 2020, only to find it removed when the track was re-released.
“A lot of people have been doing things to me in this industry; I’ve just been keeping quiet,” Kuuku said.
Speculating on the reason behind the removal, Ras Kuuku playfully suggested that his verse might have been better than Kofi Kinaata’s, which prompted a re-recording.
“Maybe my verse was harder than his. Because the first one he sang, his words were thick; I gave the song a lighter voice. So maybe after listening to my verse, they made him sing it again,” he said.
Ras Kuuku added that after the initial feeling of hurt, he was okay with it and insisted that there was no bad blood between them.
“I don’t have any issue with him. Kofi is my brother, so I kept it cool,” Kuuku stated.
Meanwhile, when asked if he would collaborate with Kofi Kinaata again, Kuuku declined, stating, “No, I’ve got so many verses. I won’t do it again.”
