Okyeame Kwame<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Renowned hiplife artiste Kwame Nsiah-Appau, popularly known as Okyeame Kwame, has admitted that he tried smoking before he began making music.<\/p>\n
He said that he had only smoked twice in his entire life, which led to him quitting due to unpleasant experiences.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have smoked weed before; twice in my life,\u201d he said to Kwame Dadzie on Joy Prime<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t fun for me. Here I am. I desire awareness. I need to be informed. I want to be aware of my surroundings. I wish to experience my inner self. I don\u2019t enjoy everything that makes me drunk. I slowed down after taking it, and then and then I started hallucinating,\u201d he added.<\/p>\nWithout denying it, he reaffirmed his desire to be intentional in all he does and to take responsibility for it.<\/p>\n
Vegetarian Okyeame Kwame highlighted abstaining from alcohol as one of his lifestyle choices.<\/p>\n
\u201cI abstain from alcohol. I\u2019ve had alcohol before, but if I placed all the alcohol I\u2019ve had in 47 years into one beer bottle, my life would be cut in half. I don\u2019t use alcohol,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In response to a question on how he stays youthful and healthy, he said that his secret has been exercising and eating the right things at the correct times.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy secret is first, I get my seven hours of sleep every day, and after that, in the morning, I do intermittent fasting so when I wake up, I drink my water with lemon or lime, and then I wait until 10.30am or eleven before I eat my main meal,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Kwame added that he has also made it a habit to visit the gym, and take his second meal around 5 o\u2019clock in the evening.<\/p>\n
The celebrated artiste, who has been in the music scene for over two decades, has received a number of awards for his outstanding achievement in the music industry in Ghana and Africa.<\/p>\n
On November 2016, John Cranley, Mayor of the city of Cincinnati in Ohio, USA, presented Okyeame Kwame with a Key to the City and declared November 17 each year as \u2018Okyeame Kwame Day\u2019 to solemnise his status as International Cultural Ambassador to the city.<\/p>\n
Kwame was also honoured on February 3, 2017 by the Chartered Institute of Marketing Ghana with the status of an associate co-opted member for his professional use of marketing in the creative arts.<\/p>\n
At the 2017 Ghana Honours, he was given the best video honour for his song titled \u2018Small Small\u2019 which featured MzVee among others.<\/p>\n
His \u2018Made in Ghana\u2019 album won Album of the Year at the 2020 3Music Awards.<\/p>\n
