Well-known Ghanaian artist Kwaisey Pee, born Kwasi Poku Addae has lamented about how he was frozen out by colleague artist King Promise when he asked for a feature.
Most artists try to either collaborate or feature other artists on their songs to either give them a different flair or different tune. It seems Kwaisey Pee’s invitation to highlife King Promise for a feature fell on the bare floor.

Kwaisey Pee disclosed in an interview on Rush Hour, hosted by Elvis Crystal on Asaase 99.5 FM how he approached highlife artist King Promise on a feature but did not get any positive feedback from him.
“I have approached King Promise as well and he never did it. And I met him (King Promise) after the VGMAs. We were in the same category “Best male vocalist category”. It was him, myself, Joe Mettle, and other guys. And I won that category, so after that, I met him and told him that I have sent him a song and was still waiting on him but he told me he didn’t know about it.

“One thing I have noticed about the music industry is that most of the artists pretend a lot. Even though I was dealing with his manager, when I went to the house he (King Promise) was there. So, definitely, he knew about it,” he added.

Speaking about his new song and the motive behind releasing a gospel song, Kwaisey Pee stated; “all good things come from above, I’m not Buddhist, I’m not Muslim, I’m not Krishna or any of that sort. I believe in God. And sometimes you feel like God has done marvelously in your life.”

“This year I haven’t done anything so I decided to do a gospel song. This year it is the highest that gave me my talent so I decided to take that opportunity to do something to praise him.”
“You know it’s music, it flows through my veins. I sleep music, I eat music, I do everything music. So, if I come to you it’s not because of competition, I’m coming to you because I want us to do music,” he said.
