I am not hiding. Substance is more important. I have been busy. We feed on negatives too much. Unfortunately I take it like that\u2026\u201d he stated in an interview with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Fans of Kwabena Kwabena have descended on him heavily over his long absence from the music scene. They said the once vibrant musician has become very lazy.<\/p>\n<p>But in a riposte, the \u2018Bue Kwan\u2019 hit maker called their bluff insisting that he will not be pressured to come out with half-baked songs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI close my ears and focus. I just need to focus. I know I have a mission and purpose with regards to music so I focus to better myself. It\u2019s been 4 years since I released my previous album. I had to study the industry. I am happy because some singing boys have emerged and it has been great\u2026\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Kwabena Kwabena further noted that, music is in his veins hence he doesn\u2019t see himself retiring soon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMusic is like cancer. I can\u2019t do anything about it. God gives it to me so I will keep producing it. People enjoy the albums. People promote the ones I didn\u2019t even promote. That\u2019s the motivation and it\u2019s about the fans\u2026\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n<p>Kwabena Kwabena is currently promoting his new album dubbed: \u2018Ahyesi\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: -1 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Thursday, 9 November 2017 Source: adomonline.com 2017-11-09 Kwabena Kwabena further noted that, music is in his veins hence he doesn\u2019t see himself retiring soon Ghanaian high-Life sensational artiste, Kwabena Kwabena says negative criticisms motivate him to write good songs.
