    Fotocopy accuses Abeiku Santa of bullying in Kuami Eugene collabo case

    Musician Fotocopy has accused radio presenter, Abeiku Santa of bullying in Kuami Eugene collabo case.

    In a recent interview with Michy, Fotocopy, who is known for his hit song “Megye Me Dow” featuring Shatta Wale, disclosed earlier this year that he didn’t like Kuami Eugene after he refused a collaboration with him because he claimed he didn’t have the numbers.

    The situation took a dramatic turn when Fotocopy was invited to appear on Abeiku Santana’s show, “Ekwansodwoodwoo,” where he was asked to apologize to Kuami Eugene.

    According to Fotocopy, he was coerced into apologizing and felt like he had no choice but to comply after Michy asked, “What touched me about it was how he cried during his interview with Abeiku Santana.

    “Can I ask you, Fotocopy, do you think Abeiku Santana bullied you into apologizing to Kuami Eugene?”

    “Yes, it was a fake apology. It was a setup. He (Kuami Eugene) was the one supposed to apologize, and he nodded when they said you were forced to.”

    The child entertainer also added that he realizes that he doesn’t even need Kuami Eugene anymore.

    He was cautioned by a panellist on the show not to make such a definitive statement, saying that he did not know what the future held.

    The female panelist said, “Don’t say you won’t need him because you don’t know the future.”

    However, Michy, who was the host, came to Fotocopy’s defence, pointing out that he was a child and took things very literally.

    Michy said, “You can’t blame him, you know, and he takes things literally. He is a child. You know how kids are: once he thinks, he is telling it.”

    Young Ghanaian musician, Fotocopy has withdrawn the harsh words he used against Kuami Eugene when he confessed in an interview how much he hates him for turning down a collaboration request and allegedly discouraging him.

    Kuami Eugene in reaction to the nine-year-old comment explained that he holds nothing against him adding that Fotocopy is too young to understand the impact of his utterances.

    It seems both parties have reached an understanding with Qwaachi, the father of the young talent rendering an apology to Kuami on behalf of his son during an appearance on Okay FM with Abeiku Santana.

    “If our words offended Bra Kuami, we beg that we forgive us and forget about what transpired. Let us live in peace…we have been brothers for a long time…I also want to render an apology to Bra Kuami, let’s live in harmony,” these were the words of Qwaachi to Eugene.

    Also, Fotocopy who broke down in tears at the studios of Okay FM apologized to Kuami Eugene. “Brother please I am sorry,” he said to his senior colleague. The two upon instructions from Abeiku Santana embraced each other to signify peace at last.

    Kuami who wholeheartedly accepted their apology assured the public of his love and support for the young talent.

    “I have said earlier that whatever is going on, he is a kid. I don’t think he has a hand in it because even if the hate he mentioned came from him, I don’t think he understands it. He is just a child.”

    Kuami once again admonished Fotocopy to embrace himself for ‘rejections’ from Ghanaian musicians.

    “I would have matched up with him if he was my age mate…all I can say is that whether someone is behind this or not, I want him to understand that we don’t always have things our way…I have asked for collaboration from a celebrity but they never replied. I was never mad,” he added.

  • Shut up if you’ve nothing positive to say about my son – Father to netizens

    Shut up if you’ve nothing positive to say about my son – Father to netizens

    Qwaachi Classic, the father of Fotocopy, a young Ghanaian musician, has asked critics of his son to shut up if they have nothing positive to say about him.

    He claimed that if his son lived in another country, he would be cherished and revered, but in Ghana, people are attacking him and making inappropriate remarks about him.

    Speaking on Rainbow Entertainment, he stated that his son recently organised the ‘I am Kasoa Concert,’ which drew a large crowd, but people are not commenting on it and are focusing on the negatives.

    “I don’t care what others think of my son. I don’t pay attention to what people are saying. The boy is accomplishing a lot for his age, but no one is talking about it. He has received numerous awards, including the Ghana Music Awards USA. The boy, who is only nine years old, has managed to draw a crowd of over 5,000 people, including members of our Muslim community. So imagine how many people would have been there if they hadn’t been tasting, but no one is talking about it. The concert took place in a Zongo community.”

    He stated that he will continue to invest in the talent of his son because he is doing extremely well.

    “Nobody is talking about how much the boy is doing for his age. They forget, whether they like it or not, that the boy is now a big brand. If my son can say something and have it trend for more than a week, he is now a big brand.

    “Ghanaians must accept his stature. Why isn’t anyone mentioning the good things he’s doing? He cancelled multiple shows with all of the A-list performers, and no one is talking about it. If they are not discussing his positive aspects, they should not discuss his negative aspects “He went on to say.”

  • Fotocopy doesn’t understand the word “hate” he used on me – Kuami Eugene

    Fotocopy doesn’t understand the word “hate” he used on me – Kuami Eugene

    Highlife and Afrobeat artiste Kuami Eugene has described comments nine-year-old singer Fotocopy has made about him as unfortunate.

    According to him, Fotocopy is too young a boy to understand and throw about words like hatred, especially when talking about other artistes.

    This comes after the ‘School Dey Be’ singer in a recent TV interview, said he hated Kuami Eugene.

    “Kuami Eugene, I don’t want to talk about it. In the whole industry, he is an artiste I hate. I hate him because of what he told me – it took me more than a week to eat. It took me more than a week for me to eat because he told me that my numbers were really small and he couldn’t feature me,” Fotocopy had said.

    However, speaking on Prime Morning on Joy FM, Kuami Eugene said that he believes the young boy was influenced to say such words adding that Fotocopy is too young to understand the enormity of the word ‘hate’.

    “I think hate is too much of an intense word for a small boy to understand. To say that I hate someone. He’s too young to understand hate but that’s parenting. He’s not my issue because I think hate is too profound for a little boy like this to say,” he said on Thursday.

    “You can tell clearly that in the interview he was having, he was told backstage….and whoever hosted the show, did a very bad job because he was also told backstage that ask him this question and answer it this way, you can clearly, go and listen to this interview.”

    Kuami Eugene believes that such words from an artiste especially one that young invite trolls and hatred from the public which goes a long way to affect their career in the future.

    “When you go to his comment section, they’re insulting this little boy and he didn’t call for this. So, please real quick let me take this opportunity to say, those attacking the little boy, he’s just a small boy. He doesn’t understand what he’s saying. So, forgive him and don’t send him hateful words. He’s just a little boy. I’m a big fan of Fotocopy. He’s just a little boy. I love him,” he said.

    On claims he was approached for a feature, the Angela hitmaker stated that the young artiste’s father, who doubles as his manager, casually requested a feature.

    However, Kuami Eugene said that as an artiste signed on a label with a team, it takes more than just talking to him to secure a feature adding that he advised the Fotocopy’s manager to have a formal conversation with his team.

    Kuami Eugene noted that he was thus taken aback to hear Fotocopy say he hated him while lamenting about not landing a collaboration.

    “Kuami Eugene is not just there to do features for everyone. It takes good conversations to have a feature. To meet Richie…I do know the father. Qwaachi, you’re my friend, let’s go together. I will follow you and talk to Richie and the whole team – I have a road manager, somebody that invests and whatever.”

    Kuami Eugene said that Fotocopy’s father was not willing to have that extensive conversation needed before they could reach an agreement on a feature.

    The ‘Cryptocurrency’ singer stated that he knows the young boy’s father works in the music industry and expected him to understand how the industry operates.

    “He didn’t like the fact that I said we should have a whole conversation about it. It doesn’t work like that. That is what people don’t get from the outside world,” Kuami Eugene said.

  • I’d never say such a thing to a young boy – Kuami Eugene on Fotocopy’s ‘hate’ comment

    I’d never say such a thing to a young boy – Kuami Eugene on Fotocopy’s ‘hate’ comment

    Kuami Eugene has responded to a recent comment made by nine-year-old artiste Fotocopy about declining to do a song with the young boy.

    Fotocopy had said in an interview on Bryt TV that he wanted to feature Kuami Eugene on a song but the ‘Angela’ hit maker turned down his request.

    Kuami is said to have adduced as reason for rejecting the feature, Fotocopy’s low numbers.

    The boy said he could not eat for a week because of the response Kuami supposedly made to him. He added that this even made him develop hatred for Kuami Eugene.

    Fotocopy mentioned that what salved his pain and disappointment was a feature from Shatta Wale on the song ‘School Dey Bee’.

    However, speaking on Joy Prime TV’s Prime Morning on Thursday, March 30, 2023, Kuami Eugene said he did not say anything bad to the boy.

    “We took pictures and all. There is a video there, I was vibing with the boy. Do you think I would say such a thing to this young boy, hurt him so bad and still take pictures with him?,” he asked.

    Narrating the incident, the Lynx Entertainment and Empire Music signee said he met Fotocopy and his father Qwaachi at the house of Richie Mensah’s mother at Osu.

    When they requested for the feature, he told them they needed to formally discuss it his management.

    “And I said it doesn’t work like that because I am from Fadama. I left the hood and I have over 50 boys that are left in the hood. I can pin point and name all of them, if I say I am featuring all of everyone, I trust me, the career will end, wey we all we nogo benefit like that from am,” he told Roselyn Felli and KMJ on Prime Morning.

    “Kuami Eugene is not there to do features with everyone. It takes good conversation to have a feature,” he further noted.

    The highlife singer explained that Fotocopy’s father Qwaachi may have thought that because he had a relationship with him, he could just pull off the feature with ease.

    In the meantime, Kuami says he does not see a future collaboration with the young musician.

    Foto Copy has songs like Megye Me Dow featuring Clemento Suarez and 2022 release, Tomorrow.

  • Fotocopy details how he balances school with music

    Fast-rising Ghanaian juvenile singer and songwriter, Fotocopy, who performed at the just-ended Free Wave Concert, has disclosed how he manages school and music.

    Speaking with GhanaWeb’s Paula Amma Broni, he mentioned that he focuses on music on the weekend while doing school on the weekdays.

    “I do music on weekends, and from Monday to Friday, I go to school. Right now, I am on vacation, so it’s all music,” he added.

    The young musician stated that he feels blessed due to the success he has chalked up as a child.

    Fotocopy pointed out that some artistes have been in the business for close to a decade but haven’t featured prominent artistes, while he has been able to do so.

    “I feel so great because not every artiste could get what I am getting. Having a song with Shatta Wale makes me feel so good because some people can stay in the industry for five years, or ten years but they couldn’t get even Kofi Kinaata to get on their song,” he shared.

    At the Freedom Wave Concert, the young musician dazzled patriots with his performance.

    He was among some of the top artistes, like Wendy Shay, and Medikal, who were present at the concert.
