0 Ghanaian highlife artiste, Kuami Eugene has disclosed that he is still been criticised for being featured on Sarkodie’s ‘Happy Day’ song, a perceived political song for the NPP.
In an interview on Hitz FM, Kuami said some music fans are still disenchanted with him because of the song which was released four years ago.
“I am still suffering for that [feature]. I don’t know what conversation sparked the fact that it should be Kuami Eugene, and after I did the chorus from the first verse, I heard from senior man [Sarkodie], it ended up that way. I have to explain myself for the rest of my life that I am not a part of it when it comes to it being an NPP song,” he said on October 22.
He said that initially conversations about the feature was not centered on a campaign song.
“I think it is a Kuami Eugene – Sarkodie conversation which didn’t lean towards that direction. The conversation was from a different direction and later it went towards that direction. I just felt a little disappointed because I still pay for it,” he said.
According to him, he still gets a barrage of attacks over that feature.
“People ask me all the time that ‘you go sleep for UGMC, you no know say ebe Mahama build am,” he said.
Sarkodie’s song “Happy Day” was released prior to the 2020 general election.

The song sparked controversy following its release with fans tagging Kuami Eugene as an NPP sympathizer for being on the song.
Sarkodie and Kuami Eugene were attacked by many who believed the song was a politically motivated music for the NPP campaign.
