A split sheet from Mr.Drew will resolve our issues- Kuami Eugene
Ghanaian musician, Kuami Eugene has expressed his disappointment at Mr.Drew for refusing to honour his part of an earlier agreement.
Kuami Eugene disclosed in an interview that there is an issue which needs to be solved regarding the song.
This was after he revealed that he wrote 80 per cent of Mr.Drew’s new song titled, “Case”.
According to the rockstar, he wrote the chorus and hook in addition to some parts of the second verse of the song.
He disclosed this in an interview with Naana Donkor Arthur, a Ghanaian USA-based influencer.
“I wrote Mr.Drew’s new song Case.I wrote all the hook and some part of his second verse, I wrote 80 per cent of that song,” he revealed.
According to the Angela hitmaker, what irks him is that Mr.Drew has refused to reply to his messages, adding that one split sheet will solve every issue.
Disappointed, Kuami Eugene said but for their relationship, he would have taken the matter up legally.
He said the song was written two years ago, adding that before Mr.Drew went to him to record, the song was already done, “all he did was to listen and sing.”
According to him, he feels good to write for others to sing, even though Mr.Drew did not pay him.
“There is a pub opposite my house, they always play the song, even though Mr.Drew has not done what he was supposed to do with the song,” he said.
This notwithstanding he said anywhere he hears the song, he becomes happy because it is his product.

Foto Copy tackles realities of friendship in new song
Ghana’s decorated young musician, Foto Copy, known in private life as Kallai Nana Qwaachi has tackled the realities of friendship in his new song.
The song tackles issues of conflict, loyalty, reward, ingratitude and betrayal of trust in friendship.
According to him, the song produced by DDT and dubbed “Friends Today, Enemies Tomorrow”, preaches a message that goes to address some realities of life.
He revealed that many best friends some time ago have become bitter enemies now due to similar issues they failed to address.
The musician noted that people have gone all out for others and ensured their friends succeeded, but unfortunately, they paid them back with evil.
Speaking to thespectatoronline.com, Foto Copy said, these things have made people regret going all out for their friends.
He is of the view that when society becomes embittered by the negative actions of their friends, it becomes difficult for others to get help in difficult situations.
Against this backdrop, he felt the need to address this in his new song.
The song is available on all digital music stores

Taste 68@68: Okyeame Kwame wins Celebrity Jollof Competition with Vegan recipe
Multiple award-winning Ghanaian musician and activist, Okyeame Kwame, known in private life as Kwame Nsia-Apau has been adjudged winner of the ‘Taste 68 @68’ Celebrity Jollof Competition.
The ‘Taste 68 @68’ Celebrity Jollof Competition was an event organised by the Ghana Tourism Authority(GTA) as part of activities to mark the country’s Heritage Month recently.
The event held at the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park brought together industry players among others.
Okyeame Kwame competed with Mr.Beautiful, Uncle Ato, Victoria Lebene and Joyce Blessing.
The Rap Dacta called his food, the Vegan Jollof funnily some of the spectators claimed his Jollof could ‘lower global warming’ due to the ingredients used.
He used mushrooms, bell peppers, tomatoes, rice, oil and other vegetables.
The protein source was seitan which is made from wheat gluten.
Ultimately, he overcame other culinary skills from his competitors for the ultimate crown.
Okyeame Kwame expressed his appreciation to everyone who tasted it and urged Ghanaians to consider it as part of their delicacies, adding that it is healthier.
The Deputy Chief Executive Officer of GTA Mr.Gilbert Aggrey, affectionately called Abeiku Santana said Okyeame Kwame won the competition not because he is famous and likeable.
According to him, Okyeame understood gastronomy tourism and techniques in culinary artistry, a strength he leveraged against his competitors.
He added that “if you look at the presentation of his meals he used cucumber to garnish his food by creating a design with his initials, OK, Okyeame Kwame. In gastronomy tourism, there should be a story and motivation behind the food that you have prepared.”
Abeiku Santana further noted that Okyeame Kwame’s presentation was outstanding considering how he linked food to climate change and the symbiotic relationship between humans and animals.
He congratulated him for emerging as the winner of the competition.
