He however indicated that his songs are equally gospel to some extent and that, even those who go to church, are the very ones who return home to listen to his songs. \u201cListening to love songs is not bad\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On his separation with music legend, Daddy Lumba, the \u2018Champion Lover Boy\u2019 still maintained he and Lumba never had any feud, indicating that, he even featured Lumba in an early album after they decided to go solo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople thought our decision to go solo was because of money, a woman or something else, but I tell you nothing of that sort ever happened. I think people will conclude that because of how we started and the good relationship we had. So people exaggerated finally that, there was a grudge between us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018refuse to grow\u2019 legend noted that, their break was as a result of a good decision they all took, adding that, they are still yet to record the return of the \u201cLumba Brothers\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have made some recordings which we intend to release but due to time factor, it\u2019s not been completed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nana Acheampong has been in the music industry for 26 years with 26 albums to his credit.
