veteran Highlife artist Wutah Kobby expressed his reservations about being referred to as a legend in the music industry.
The “For Your Love” crooner clarified that he is not contemplating retirement from active music and believes that doing legendary things and being labeled a legend are distinct concepts.
Wutah Kobby shared his perspective, stating, “Doing legendary stuff and being a legend are two different things because when you are doing legendary stuff that’s cool.”
He went on to explain that once someone is labeled a legend, it can carry connotations of being mythical, and he prefers to remain in the active phase of his music career.
“It’s like something like a myth so we don’t specifically believe it but we say this is what it’s supposed to be. So those of us alive I think once we are alive and we continue to do music we’re still in the writing process we can’t conclude and say this is it.
He added, “If you have observed critically in Ghana once they begin calling you or tagging you as a legend then probably it means you are no longer active in the music scene or you have finally decided to retire from music”.
Wutah Kobby emphasized that as long as he and other artists are alive and creating music, they are still in the process of writing their musical legacy and should not be prematurely labeled as legends.
