Radio presenter and former Akyeame member, Okyeame Quophi, has recounted a frightening encounter where music executive, Nana King, allegedly pulled a gun on him and rapper Okyeame Kwame.
Quophi said the incident happened after he advised Nana King to change his musical style to appeal to a wider Ghanaian audience, but the suggestion reportedly angered the music executive.
Speaking in a video shared on X on November 9, 2026, Quophi said he had listened to Nana King's music after he arrived in Kumasi and believed his style at the time would not make him popular in Ghana.
He explained that he approached Nana King with the intention of helping him develop a sound that local audiences could easily relate to.
However, the conversation allegedly took an unexpected turn when Nana King became angry and pulled a gun on them.
Quophi said the incident frightened both musicians, with Okyeame Kwame reportedly fleeing the scene while he remained seated.
“Because of what I said, Nana King lost his cool and pulled a gun on me. Okyeame Kwame even ran away. As I was sitting there, my body was present, but my spirit was far gone. He pulled the gun, but it had no bullets,” he recounted.
He added that he eventually had to flee for his safety following the confrontation.
Interestingly, Quophi said Nana King later reconsidered the advice and changed his musical direction, moving towards highlife and incorporating Twi lyrics into his songs.
According to him, Nana King released 'Champion', which became his first hit song in Ghana, about two weeks after their encounter.
Quophi further disclosed that the music executive later approached him at an event to admit that the advice had been right and that he had overreacted.
He said he was still angry about the earlier incident and even contemplated punching Nana King but decided against it because of his physical size.
“I was so furious, and I wanted to punch him. But he is bigger than me, so I had to control myself,” he added.
