“In my opinion, those songs were not made about me. I don’t consider them as targeted at me and vice-versa. These were only tunes to entertain our followers. I have no beef song,” he indicated.
The duo, known as the Lumba Brothers, initially formed a music group in the late 80s after meeting in Germany.
However, they finally pursued independent careers, leading to speculation about the reasons behind their separation.
Contrary to popular misconception, Nana Acheampong underlined that their breakup was amicable, with no underlying issues of money or personal conflicts. “People thought it was money or women,” he explained.
He continued, “The fans were hurt because they had admired us as a duo of young talented music performers and breaking up, for them, was a signal that something big had caused it.”
Acknowledging the antagonism that erupted among fans following their breakup, Nana Acheampong likened it to the heated competitiveness between football teams Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko.
He underlined, however, that there was no true hostility between himself and Daddy Lumba.
Nana Acheampong finished the conversation by sharing light on his latest collaboration with Fameye on the song ‘Ye Wo Nyame’ (We Have God), signifying a continuation of his musical career with fresh collaborations and projects.
