Okyeame Kwame has shut down recurring rumours of a fallout with Guru. He stressed that their relationship remains strong and free of tension.
In a recent interview with Okay FM, the veteran hiplife artiste made it clear that there is no hostility between them, adding that he holds Guru in high regard as one of his favourite musicians.
“The last time I met Guru was about a week ago, and we hugged for about two hours. I love him so much… what makes you think Guru and I are not on good terms?” he quizzed.
He went on to explain that the speculation about strain in their relationship stems from a separate disagreement that had nothing to do with Guru directly. According to him, the issue was tied to an earlier misunderstanding involving Obrafour, whom he accused of escalating matters through a diss record that also featured Guru.
Okyeame Kwame emphasised that his frustration was directed entirely at Obrafour and not Guru.
“The only person I was angry with was Obrafour because he was my close friend and also a senior colleague. I never got angry with Guru because if I were in his shoes, I would have done the same thing, maybe even more,” he said.
He traced the roots of the disagreement back to around 2009, following the release of “Killing The Game,” a collaboration between himself and Obour, which he said was intended to address certain issues within the hiplife industry at the time.
Okyeame Kwame indicated that Obrafour later responded in a way he felt misinterpreted the song’s purpose, and eventually went on to collaborate with Guru on the widely discussed track “Nkasiebo.”
He added that he was disappointed by Obrafour’s reaction, which he believes indirectly suggested criticism of his intentions.
