“Don’t Compare Me To Anyone, I’m The Return Of Nana Ampadu” – Kweku Flick
In less than 48 hours after self-acclaimed dancehall artist, Kweku Flick, released a video warning people never to compare him to other artists, the young Ghanaian rapper/singer Andy Osei Sarfo, better known by his stage name Kweku Flick, has also issued a warning through his twitter page not to be compared to any musician.
It can be vividly remembered when Kweku Flick came out with his breakthrough song, he was chastied for imitating Ground Up's Kwesi Arthur, but today he is refuting all claims as he says he is the return of Nana Ampadu.
His comment came right after his yet to be released song (Ewiase) got some attention on social media because people think the lyrics of the song are sensible.
However, Nana Ampadu is a Ghanaian artist who has written over 800 songs and is associated with many renowned highlife compositions.
Ampadu rose to notoriety in 1967 with the publication of his song Ebi Te Yie (or “Some Are Well Seated”), which was viewed as potentially critical of the then-ruling National Liberation Council and was quickly removed from the radio, only to make a reappearance after the fall of military control. He was proclaimed Odwontofoohene, or “Singer-in-Chief,” in Ghana in 1973 after winning a statewide competition.
Nana Ampadu went on tour with the S. K. Oppong Drama Group, who put on concerts and short plays at his band's shows. For many years, this ensemble matured into the cast of Osofo Dadzie, Ghana's most popular TV drama series. One of his compositions became the theme song for Obra, a popular Ghanaian television drama series.
