Highlife musician Kuami Eugene has addressed his relationship with legendary musician Amakye Dede following the VGMA ‘King of Highlife’ crowning saga.

In an interview on Japekrom-based Anidaso FM, he was asked about the comradie between him and Amakye Dede before and after the  exposé.

Kuami Eugene, appearing dissatisfied with the host’s question, responded that the answer he could provide would hold no moral lesson or significant value.

He questioned the relevance of the inquiry, asking the host what he would do with such information if he were to provide an answer.

“My relationship with him backstage is of no value to anybody. Whether we fought or not, whether we were cool or not, I will forever regard him as a legend in my life,” Kuami Eugene stated.

After being pressed for a response, he emphasized that Amakye Dede has always been an inspiration to him.

Given the significant age difference, he remarked that he would never be involved in any tussle with the Highlife icon.

The host’s question came in light of Amakye Dede’s previous interview, where the legendary musician revealed that he felt pressured to crown Kuami Eugene as his successor on the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) stage.

He revealed he was handed the crown shortly before going on stage for his performance and given a directive to hype Kuami Eugene.

Though Kuami Eugene has yet to directly address those claims, his response suggests that his respect and admiration for Amakye Dede remain unshaken, regardless of any backstage dynamics.
