Kuami Eugene says he is still facing backlash for his collaboration with Sarkodie on the song "Happy Day."

Ghanaian highlife musician, Kuami Eugene, has revealed that he has been facing criticism for his collaboration on Sarkodie's song 'Happy Day'. During an interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM, Kuami expressed that his involvement in the song, which was released four years ago, has led to some negative reactions from certain music fans.

I am still facing consequences for that feature. I'm not sure how the conversation led to it being Kuami Eugene, and after I did the chorus from the first verse I heard from senior man Sarkodie, it turned out that way. I have to constantly clarify that I am not associated with it when it comes to being an NPP song.

 

I believe it was a discussion between I and Sarkodie that didn't head in that direction. The conversation started off differently and then veered in that direction later. I felt a bit let down because I still bear the brunt of it.

He also mentioned that he continues to face a barrage of criticism over this collaboration.

"People constantly question me, saying 'you performed at UGMC, don't you know it was built by Mahama?'" he added.

Sarkodie's 'Happy Day' was released before the 2020 general election. Despite being a celebratory song, it sparked controversy due to a line by Sarkodie praising Nana Akufo-Addo's Free Senior High School policy and endorsing his re-election.
