Ghanaian rapper, Kofi Jamar, recently made a surprising revelation that he has never been a member of the Asakaa Boys group.
The Asakaa Boys, a popular nine-member crew from Kumasi, have been gaining attention with their drill music. Members O’Kenneth, Jay Bahd, Kawabanga, Cedi City Boy, Reggie, Kwaku DMC, Sean Lifer, Rabby Jones, and Braa Benk have been diligently working on their craft, producing music, and promoting themselves in the industry.
Born Derrick Osei Kuffour Prempeh, Kofi Jamar is widely recognized for his hit song “Ekorso,” which emerged from the viral Kumerica/Asaaka trend and features Yaw Tog and YPee.
During an exclusive interview on The Chat with Ekow Koomson on Citi TV, Kofi Jamar clarified the misconception of being associated with the Asakaa Boys group.
He stated, “Let me clear this…I was never a member of the Asakaa group … but I was just familiar with them… We all came out from the same city in Kumasi and around that time I was ahead in the city making music and they were around[Asakaa].”
Kofi Jamar further mentioned that while he has collaborated with members of the Asakaa Boys like Jahbad and Ypee on a recent track, he emphasized that he is not officially part of the group.
Regarding his upcoming projects, the “Ekorso” artist teased fans to expect exciting new music. He shared, “I have released my new song ‘Bold,’ which is a statement I want to make after my long break, and I have also collaborated on ‘Wombom’ with Kofi Mole and Y. I am coming out like a new artiste.”
