Sika: It is a big opportunity to do a song with Kofi Kinaata – Okyeame Kwame
Multiple-award-winning Ghanaian musician, Okyeame Kwame has undraped the reason for settling on Kofi Kinaata for his new song, Sika.
According to Okyeame Kwame, he has always wanted to do a song with Kofi Kinaata, because he is a big fan.
Again he also said he respects Kinaata’s creativity and among others wanted to have a record together.
Speaking to spectator.com.gh, Okyeame Kwame said he was the only one who had won the Songwriter of the Year twice until Kofi Kinaata came to change the narrative, by winning it on three occasions.
For this reason, Okyeame Kwame said “I wanted to know what is in that head, and I called him for us to do a song together, and during the recording sessions, I realised why he is a great writer, ‘the boy get common sense period’. Very intelligent, very smart, he has learnt the trick and the trade.”
Okyeame Kwame said it was a big opportunity for him to do a song with Kofi Kinaata, who he admires.
Touching on the song’s concept, he said Sika aims to inspire people to hustle to make ends meet in the future.
“It is who I have become currently, most of the things I do is to seek to bring out difficult times and triumphant moments, from poverty to riches,” the Rap Dacta said.
The song is available on all digital platforms.

The Ashanti South Regional Police Intelligence Directorate has arrested two suspects in connection with a robbery attack on an Indian national in Obuasi and a separately planned robbery operation targeting a distribution company in the same area.
On April 16, 2026, Police received credible intelligence that a group of armed men were planning an attack in Obuasi. A police team moved swiftly into the area and arrested suspect Iddrisu Fuseini, also known as “Iddi”, at his hideout in Bedieso, Obuasi.
During interrogation, he confessed to being part of a six-member gang that attacked an Indian national at his residence at New Baakoyeden, Obuasi, on April 12 2026, robbing him of GH₵150,000.00.
He disclosed that the attack was orchestrated following a tip-off from suspect Ibrahim, an employee of the victim, who informed the gang that the victim kept large sums of money.
Further investigations led to the arrest of a second suspect, Shaibu Mohammed, also known as “SM” or “Cicinati”, on 20th April 2026 at his hideout in Gausu, Obuasi. During interrogation, he admitted to participating in the planning of the robbery and confirmed that the gang had further planned to rob a distribution company near Mawuli Hotel in Obuasi.
Investigations have further revealed that both suspects are currently standing trial at the Obuasi Circuit Court in connection with a separate robbery of GH₵600,000.00.
