A member of the acclaimed Ghanaian music group Praye, Praye Tiatia has shed light on the true cause behind the group’s split, pointing to a rift with fellow member Praye Tenten.
In a candid interview on D-Black’s UNKUT show, Praye Tiatia unveiled the internal conflicts that led to the dissolution of the once-popular trio.
He disclosed that a disagreement with Praye Tenten over a secret album collaboration sparked tensions that eventually led to their breakup.
The revelation provides a glimpse into the inner workings of Praye, a group that enjoyed immense success in the early 2000s with hit tracks like ‘Angelina’, ‘Kakyere Me’, and ‘Otoolege’.
Praye Tiatia clarified that financial disputes were not the primary cause, emphasising that ego-driven conflicts played a major role in their separation.
“Choirmaster did not leave. Tenten left first, we had a small misunderstanding at the time and we called and when we were asking him, he said he had his reason for doing this, and if not so then he was leaving”
“He was doing some project with somebody we did not know about and somebody saw him and told us. I think they were recording an album or so and when we called him and asked him about it, the answer he gave [not cool] and he was like if you guys don’t understand, then Praye Ho-ne-ho) also said if you do not understand then I do not want to work with you again.
“And I was sitting there and me and him, Praye Tenten were on one side so he left and I followed suit and he moved out and that was it, the whole thing,” Praye Tiatia stated.
Contrary to speculation, Praye Tiatia clarified that financial disputes were not the driving force behind their breakup.
He emphasised that ego-driven conflicts rather than monetary concerns led to their separation.
“It was not about money because if it is ₵100,000, we know how to share it. You cannot go for a show, get money and you will take more than me, it is the ego that caused it,” he added.
Praye Tiatia underscored that a consensus and resolution between them could have avoided the breakup.
The departure of Praye Tenten in 2011 marked a significant turning point for the group, leading to their eventual disbandment.
Praye Tiatia’s insights highlight the importance of communication and resolution in maintaining successful group dynamics.
