Award-winning Highlife musician Kwabena Kwabena has opened up about a not-so-pleasant experience with a gospel artiste who, according to him, treated him with disrespect when he reached out for a collaboration.
Speaking during an interview with Doreen Avio on Hitz FM, Kwabena Kwabena explained that he had reached out to this unnamed gospel musician for a collaboration, believing that both of them could create something meaningful together. However, he was left surprised and hurt by how the conversation turned out.
According to him, the response not only created an uncomfortable barrier but also communicated a sense of judgment that he wasn’t expecting, especially from someone in the gospel fraternity.
“There was one particular gospel musician—for some obvious reasons, I won’t mention her name—but I believe she was a bit disrespectful. She made me feel like I’m for the world. I called her artiste to artiste, and she asked me to speak to her husband,” he revealed.
Despite that unpleasant experience, Kwabena Kwabena also used the opportunity to highlight a positive one. He showered praise on veteran gospel artiste Obaapa Christy, who he recently collaborated with on the song Fakye. Kwabena spoke fondly of how Obaapa Christy handled their collaboration request with grace and humility.
