I Separated From Akyeame Because I Was Broke – Okyeame Kwame
Highlife musician, Okyeame Kwame, says he
separated from fellow musician; Okyeame Quophi,
because he was broke after their return from the
United States.

According to him, the situation upon their return
from the United States in an attempt to seek
greener pastures, left him with no choice than to
venture into music again after taking a break.

This he said, didn’t go down with his music
partner, Okyeame Quophi, who wanted them to build
their talent gradually before returning to music.
Okyeame Kwame made this known in an interview on
Beta Malt “On the Go” (taxi edition), when he
was asked by a fan the reason for the split.

“I was broke. We started music in 97; Kofi and
I. We did music for a while and went to live in
America…When we came back in 2003, we were
broke. Whenever I told kofi, let’s go for a
performance, Kofi said no, people will take us
cheaply, let’s wait to build our artistry…”


Okyeame Kwame together with Okyeame Quophi formed
the music group “Akyeame ” which took hiplife
music by storm when they collaborated in the
90’s with some hit tracks until the duo decided
to go their separate ways.

There have been a lot of rumors surrounding their
split, but Okyeame Kwame opened up on the reason
on this week’s episode of Beta Malt OTG with
Jessica Opare Saforo.

“On the Go” with Beta Malt, is a 15 minute
fun- packed, fascinating and inspirational TV
program which is purely interactive and presents
the opportunity for people to share the story of
their hustle in the most fun-loving way, with the
reward of nourishment to keep the zeal.
