Ghanaian singer and music producer Abochi, born Bismark Enyan, has revealed that he eventually dated his female best friend after releasing his hit song, Bestie.
The singer made the disclosure during an interview with Kwame Dadzie and Doreen Avio on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz, explaining that the relationship developed after the song’s release.
Released in 2019, Bestie gained significant attention in Ghana and beyond. The song is based on Abochi’s real-life experience and tells the story of a young man who gradually falls in love with his female best friend but is afraid to express his feelings for fear of ruining their friendship.
According to Abochi, the lady reached out to him after listening to the song.
“She called me and was like, ‘Is that how you really feel about me?’ and I said yes. Then she told me she felt the same way.”
He added: “After that, we started dating and entered into a relationship, but after six months it didn’t work. We realised we were better off as friends.”
Abochi further disclosed that the relationship later became toxic, inspiring him to release Prison Break, a song that reflects the relief and peace that come with leaving a difficult relationship.
The singer noted that his personal experiences have largely shaped his songwriting, helping him create music that resonates with many listeners.
Over the years, Abochi has worked with a number of Ghanaian musicians, including Kofi Kinaata and Okyeame Kwame, collaborations that have contributed to his growing presence in the Ghanaian music industry.
Some of Abochi’s notable songs include Bestie, Prison Break, No Feelings, M’anigye, By My Side, Take Care of You and Hold Me Down, all of which reflect different experiences and themes in his musical journey.
He also has an album titled OKAYSIONS, which features songs that mirror various occasions in life, including naming ceremonies, birthdays, weddings, funerals, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, among others.
