Ghanaian rapper, Emmanuel Kwesi Danso who is better known in showbiz as Kwesi Arthur has disclosed his biggest challenge as an artiste.
While speaking on GBC’s Breakfast Show, Kwesi mentioned that he is scared of being judged by the public because of the fame he has as an artist and that has being one of his challenges since starting his music career.
“Being in the public light, like everyone seeing what you do, everyone trying to judge your moves, yeah, I feel that’s a big challenge. Sometimes it gets like that, but I feel like it comes with the job I do so, I just have to swallow the pill it comes with.”
Sharing some of the surprises he has encountered in the music career, Kwesi Arthur stated that;
“there’s a lot of lies; a lot of smoke screens”.
“It’s like a lot of CAP; a lot of lies like a lot of smoked screens. Things people put out are not what it is.”
“There was this pornography video going about, people were saying it was me, but it wasn’t actually me. But the way the person took the video, degraded the quality of the video so you couldn’t really tell and the guy had dreads like me.
"Even when the original high-quality video was put out and you could clearly tell it’s not me, people were still saying oh it’s me, it’s me,” He said.
Kwesi Arthur rose to fame in 2017 with his hit song 'Grind day'.
Kwesi Arthur has won awards and some nomination slots to his credit.
These are the 'Rapper of the year' and 'Hip Hop Song of the year' at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, Viewer's Choice Best International Act nomination at the 2018 BET Awards and was nominated for BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher in 2019.
