I don\u2019t know what conversation led to the decision that it should be Kuami Eugene, and after I did the chorus from the first verse, I heard from senior man [Sarkodie], and it ended up that way. I have to explain for the rest of my life that I am not part of it when it comes to it being an NPP song,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Kuami Eugene further noted that he felt disappointed when he heard the song in the public domain. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it is a Kuami Eugene-Sarkodie conversation that didn\u2019t lean towards that direction. The conversation was from a different direction and later it went in that direction. I just felt a little disappointed because I still pay for it,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>On the song, which initially sounded inspirational, Sarkodie shifted to a partisan tone towards the end, praising the Free SHS policy implemented by the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government and subtly endorsing the president&#8217;s second-term bid by saying, &#8216;Nana, toa so&#8217;\u2014an Asante Twi phrase meaning &#8216;Nana, continue [governing for the second time]&#8217; in English.<\/p>\n<p>ID\/BB<\/p>\n<p> Click here to follow the GhanaWeb Entertainment News WhatsApp channel <\/p>\n<p><b>See videos from the funeral of Justine Agbenu below:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"orjl9PcXFjM\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Grief and tears mark burial of East Legon fatal accident victim Justine Agbenu\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/orjl9PcXFjM?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sarkodie featured Kuami Eugene on &#8216;Happy Day&#8217; Ghanaian musician and songwriter, Kuami Eugene, has indicated that his feature on colleague Sarkodie&#8217;s &#8216;Happy Day&#8217; has had a negative toll on his career.
