Ghanaian singer, songwriter, and record producer Kuami Eugene has revealed why he hesitated to publicly announce his departure from Lynx Entertainment.
In an interview with Doreen Avio, he explained that he preferred to focus on his future projects rather than dwell on his past with the label. He noted that many artistes in Ghana tend to emphasize negative experiences after leaving their record labels, but he wanted to take a different path.
“I noticed that when people leave record labels here, they often spend a lot of time talking about, sorry to say, their bad experiences rather than focusing on what they’re doing now. That’s not something I wanted to be a part of. While recording and promoting ‘Monica,’ we were still discussing my exit from Lynx Entertainment,” he said.
Kuami Eugene disclosed that talks about his departure began as far back as 2023, during the release of “Monica.” Despite the transition, he expressed deep gratitude for Lynx Entertainment’s role in his career and said he had the full support of the label’s CEO, Richie Mensah.
“It’s been a very long journey with Lynx Entertainment. They’ve played a huge role in my life. I’ve learned so much from Richie Mensah, and I’m very grateful he gave me his blessing when it was time to go. He told me, ‘Eight years, Charlie, you almost hit a decade with us,’” he shared.
Kuami Eugene also emphasized that he remains on good terms with Lynx, recently attending Richie Mensah’s book launch and continuing to receive support from his former team.
“I’m still with Lynx, like I never left. I was at Richie’s book launch just two days ago. It was a blessing to see him, hug him like the father he’s been to me. He even texted me two days ago thanking me for coming,” he stated.
He urged fans and social media users not to expect any bitterness from him, but rather to focus on enjoying his music.
“If I put out my feelings, then what? What I really want is for them to listen to ‘Belinda,’ ‘Monica,’ and the other bangers I’m giving them,” he added.
Kuami Eugene recently released a new single titled “Canopy,” a highlife-inspired song blending soulful vocals with modern rhythms. The track is already gaining traction on streaming platforms, showcasing the artiste’s evolving sound and maturity after his time with Lynx Entertainment.
