Ghanaian singer and songwriter Kuami Eugene has revealed that his decision to cut off his signature hair marks a fresh start in his music career following his exit from Lynx Entertainment.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Doreen Avio, the\u00a0Monica<\/em>\u00a0hitmaker explained that the change in hairstyle is more than just aesthetics.<\/p>\n According to him, it is a visual representation of his transition from his Lynx-era image into a new phase of personal and professional growth.<\/p>\n \u201cI woke up one morning and it\u2019s been a long time, when I got signed to Lynx. It\u2019s been changing hairstyle from one hairstyle to another hairstyle, but I\u2019ve not had a down cut for a very long time, for about six years. I\u2019ll twist it, then I will do this and I will unbraid it, leaving the afro. I changed it just to show a new look and the fact that it\u2019s a new beginning for me from Lynx. It\u2019s a transition from the Lynx boy to your family, sweet boy Kwami Eugene,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The award-winning musician also disclosed that his departure from Lynx had been in motion for some time, even before public confirmation. He said discussions were already ongoing around the time he released Monica.<\/p>\n \u201cI wasn\u2019t the first person to put it out there that I left Lynx. Richie did that actually, so after he announced that I\u2019ve left Lynx Entertainment on his account, I had a lot of calls but people didn\u2019t know from Monica time, we were in talk for exits a long time ago. When I had Monica playing, I was partially out of Lynx a long time but I just didn\u2019t want to come put it out there and when I had Belinda, I was not even at Lynx at all,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n Kuami Eugene also addressed public reactions and comments from fellow industry players following his exit from the label. He acknowledged both the support and criticism he has received, citing notable personalities such as A Plus and MC Portfolio, who have publicly praised his talent and potential.<\/p>\n \u201cI had a lot of calls after Richie said that and then I had to explain myself to people that I\u2019ve actually done eight years under Lynx Entertainment. It\u2019s been a beautiful journey and I\u2019ve heard what everybody\u2019s saying. A lot of people are happy. I remember A Plus said something that with Kwame\u2019s talent, if he gets the chance to be on his own with the proper management, he\u2019ll become a very big person one day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He also responded to past criticism from rapper Guru, who had suggested that Kuami would struggle after leaving Lynx.<\/p>\n \u201cGuru made the comment about me flopping when I\u2019m out of Lynx but he\u2019s a president now. He\u2019s the president of the University of Ghana. I respect that so much, for that sake, I don\u2019t have anything to say about Guru because I respect him so much. I used to go and watch his concerts so it\u2019s a shame when he brought the fight from Richie to me. Then again, he\u2019s a president now and I don\u2019t think as a president, if he gets another opportunity, he\u2019ll say what he said,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Kuami Eugene, born Eugene Kwame Marfo, rose to fame after winning MTN Hitmaker in 2016 and later signed to Lynx Entertainment. He is known for hits such as\u00a0Angela<\/em>,\u00a0Wish Me Well, Open Gate,<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Take Away.<\/em>\u00a0A recipient of multiple awards including the VGMA Artiste of the Year in 2020, Kuami has built a reputation for his songwriting skills and vocal range.<\/p>\n As he embarks on this new chapter, fans and industry watchers are eager to see how he evolves as an independent artiste.<\/p>\n
