  • My lookalike impersonated me by performing in my name – Quamina MP

    My lookalike impersonated me by performing in my name – Quamina MP

    Ghanaian musician and record producer, Quamina MP has disclosed that his doppelgänger has impersonated him on several occasions which has also affected his brand.

    Speaking on the trending debate of individuals claiming to be lookalikes of other Ghanaian musicians, including Kuami Eugene, King Promise, Mr Drew, and Medikal, the “Wiase” hitmaker revealed that he had suffered a similar fate.

    Quamina MP, 29, said his look-alike did not only imitate his style and mannerisms but took to performing his songs at events including a D-Black event that got him kicked off the stage and a slew of headlines.

    “I saw a news headline that said Quamina MP sacked from stage at Kasoa during D Black’s event and it shocked me. I was wondering if I was there or not,” he narrated “And the guy really looks like me so I was doubting if it was really me. The guy was performing when a bouncer carried him off the stage and the headline was very bad at least if the people knew it was my lookalike then it’ll not be bad PR”

    While impersonating an artiste may seem harmless to some, it can have serious consequences for artists who rely on their image and brand to build a successful career.

    The award-winning artiste mentioned that the situation had escalated resulting in the lookalike performing on stage and scamming fans in the process

    “Just last week in Koforidua, I was supposed to perform at a show in a secondary school, before I got on stage the lookalike had gone to perform in my name” he cited

    Moreover, impersonators can damage an artiste’s reputation by giving subpar performances or engaging in inappropriate behaviour.

    They can also infringe on the artist’s intellectual property rights by using their image or music without permission.

    “I was told that the students were angry after he performed for a few minutes and left before I came. This is the issue I have with my lookalike and he is also creating skits which malign my brand,” he lamented.

    However, Quamina MP and his team are yet to reach out to the impersonator to ask him to desist from using his name or brand for public performance.

    I have a grown-up son which most people don’t know – Quamina MP

    The Afrobeat and Hip-Pop Ghanaian singer, Quamina MP, has publicly shared that he has a grown-up son that Ghanaians do not know about.

    This information was divulged when he was quizzed by the host of United Showbiz, MzGee, about whether the celebrities have it in mind that they do have a private life.

    Quamina MP answered the host by saying that celebrities do have a private life, which is why he has been able to hide his son from the world.

    “We do have a private life. There are some things going on in life that if I don’t say it, you might not know. Do you know I have a son. I have a son, and he is very grown, but nobody knows. Only a few people are aware I have a son. I am comfortable saying it,” he revealed.

    Quamina MP, still on the issue of the privacy of the celebrities, further explained that, if these famous personalities want to have a private life, they can surely enjoy a private life.

  • Quamina MP’s full freestyle on Tim Westwood catches fire after ‘rushed’ backlash

    Ground Up Chale act Quamina MP was subjected to vehement backlash and mockery by some music enthusiasts after snippets of his freestyle session on Tim Westwood TV hit online. Days after the public ridicule, the full video has been released and it does appear the youngster would need more muscles to carry the praises heaped on him.

    The full video which was made public on March 13, 2020 had as at press time garnered 21,588 views and 293 comments with virtually every commenter hailing the artiste for nailing the beat.

    “Goosebumps all over me. Quamina killed it,” said a viewer; with another saying: “My guy, you spoil there. You too much.”

    Some expressed shock and disappointment over the decision to slam Quamina MP. They argued that critics should have waited for the full video to make informed judgment than jabbing the singer after watching just a snippet.

    “Herh Ghana people dey talk oo!! See how the guy spoil der,” a comment read.

    “I heard he flopped so I decided to check it out myself and am like ah I don’t get it cos he did very well,” another read.

    The Tim Westwood platform has over the years seen Sarkodie, M.anifest and other Ghanaian artistes display their prowess.

    In 2011, Sarkodie proved his mettle with a 4-minute freestyle on the channel. His lyrical dexterity was flawless, the flow was simply incredible, his swag and attitude on point!

    Fast-forward to 2019, M.anifest, in an all-black apparel pounced on a beat served him and delivered a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious rap punctuated with puns and metaphor.
