My family was broke and were living in a rented apartment — Kuami Eugene reiterates humble beginnings

Ghanaian highlife musician Eugene Marfo, better known as Kuami Eugene has recounted the hardships he and his family faced before entering the limelight.

He indicated that his family was very poor before he joined his record label, Lynx Entertainment, and subsequently came into the public domain.

Unlike his colleague musicians, Kuami Eugene indicated in a Twitter space that he aimed to change his family’s financial status rather than buy himself luxurious things.

“When I came to Lynx Entertainment, trust me, actually had nothing. My parents didn't have money and you can't compare me to some artiste I came with because they were living in their parent's house. My mum, my dad, my siblings, and myself were living in a rented apartment. It wasn't okay for all of us.

"The time everybody was talking about my shoes and dress, trust me, I was trying to put things together. The things these other artiste had to go to the boutique to put together, I had to go to Kantamanto... so you can't compare the two of us. People will say these things without knowing my pocket," he revealed.

Being arguably the only artist who has been trolled due to his "poor" fashion sense, Eugene stressed that he was focusing on securing a better place and life for his mother and the entire family and not spending money on expensive clothes.

"The first thing I was thinking of was to find a good place for my mum to stay...I wasn't thinking of what to wear but how to fix my mum's life because the English I am speaking today is because she put me through good education. I had to find somewhere better for her to stay before thinking of putting on a Louis Vuitton or a nice t-shirt that will cost like GH200. It was too much for me back then," Kuami Eugene emphasized.
