Highlife musician, Akwasi Opoku affectionately called Kwaisey Pee, has said that most of the younger musicians do not like him.
He claims this is as a result of the fact that he speaks the bitter truth when advising the younger folks.
He said this in an interview with Joy Prime’s Roselyn Felli on Joy Prime’s Changes show when he was asked to admonish up-and-coming musicians.
He noted that people erroneously attribute his choice of words to hatred.
“Anytime I come out to voice out something, they feel like I’m hating on somebody or I don’t like the young ones. They say so many things,” he said.
Asked whether this has earned him hatred from the younger musicians because he speaks his mind, Kwaisey Pee responded in the affirmative. He recounted how some of the younger artistes rejected his collaboration request.
That notwithstanding, he said he is not bothered about it because he feels people do not want to be told the truth.
“A year or two years ago, I wanted to do a collabo with a couple of them and they feel like I’m always speaking against them so why do they do collabo with me? And I’ve realized it’s something that’s within us. The things we Ghanaians do we don’t want to be talked at.”
He has urged the younger musicians to listen to the older one’s advises to help elevate their career.
However, he has decided not talk about any artiste in 2025 to avoid more hatred.
