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 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.
