Ghanaian musician and songwriter Kuami Eugene, whose real name is Eugene Kwame Marfo, has revealed that he has accumulated enough wealth to never experience poverty, even if he quits music, as reported by News Ghana.
In an interview with Amansan Krakye, he confidently stated, “Maybe if we talk about finances or monetary terms like someone who has achieved so much fortune from music, then as for that one I could stop doing music. Because I think that I have been able to accumulate so much money that if I decide to stop doing music today, I would never be poor or go hungry.”
Despite his financial success, Kuami Eugene emphasized that his commitment to music goes beyond money. “Doing music for me is not just about making money, but the passion is also part of it and the love for the music and to put information out there all the time,” he explained.
He further highlighted the role his music plays in inspiring and motivating people. “I want people to listen to my music in the morning and feel inspired or motivated to work, and so if I stop doing music, all these messages from me won’t be fulfilled,” he added.
While financial stability is a blessing he attributes to God, Kuami Eugene underlined his desire to create a lasting legacy. “It’s not all about money, but as for the money, by the grace of God, I have acquired a lot. It’s about leaving behind a legacy for my songs to be played even at my old age,” he concluded.
