Legendary highlife musician Agya Koo Nimo has shared some health advice with highlife crooner Kwabena Kwabena, urging him to avoid excessive alcohol consumption.
During a courtesy visit by Kwabena Kwabena and his team at his residence in Kumasi over the weekend, the 94-year-old palmwine music icon emphasized the importance of maintaining good health.
“Listen to whatever I say. Why am I 94? The first thing, Kwabena, respect our kidneys. Drink a lot of water to clear everything in your kidneys. As for alcohol, you may just take a little,” Agya Koo Nimo said in a video sighted on nydjlive.com.
Using himself as an example, he noted that while he occasionally takes alcohol, he avoids drinks that could harm his health.
“I would just take a bottle of beer, the bitter one. But I do not take hard liquor. Hard liquor will spoil your voice. Your only gift is your voice. I beg you, Kwabena, take good care of yourself,” he advised.
Agya Koo Nimo’s caution aligns with growing concerns about substance abuse among musicians.
Recently, Kwabena Kwabena revealed on UTV that he had quit consuming substances that could negatively impact his health.
A strong advocate of traditional highlife, Kwabena Kwabena has remained committed to the genre, delivering hit songs and organizing concerts over the years.
He received praise from industry stakeholders for his performance at the Vitamilk Love Night concert on February 14, 2025, at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre.
As 2025 marks his 20th year in the music industry, he has announced plans to celebrate the milestone with a series of activities.
