The man, who has a strong Christian faith, said he will never want to see his son wearing earrings, inking tattoos or keeping dreadlocks.

This conversation came up in an interview on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM on December 18, when Mr Arthur surprised his son with a phone-in interview.

According to him, he would want his son to remain the gentleman he knows, adding that, he serves as a role model to a lot of less-privileged children and that should be the norm.

The hair will go down again. The thing is I want him to build a legacy without any blemish… society looks down on others which is very bad. If you don’t know someone’s background don’t look down on that person. I have a taxi and when people talk about musicians his name actually pops up.

People talk about him and they don’t know it’s me. He has a following and they follow him seriously and because he is a symbol of simplicity I want him to remain real.

I don’t want him to pierce his ear and I don’t want tattoos and at the same time I don’t want the hair to overgrow. The hair he has now is grown and it doesn’t look simple too.

I want him to be one of the finest artistes in the world. I want him to still remain simple and remember he comes from a poor background, he said.

He recounted the events that happened that day he was born and how the musician delayed when his mum was ready to push him out into the world.

It was a bit emotional. He delayed a bit before coming. It started in the night but we tried to control the mother together with the late grandma of Kwesi’s mum.

We went to Tema General Hospital and I was the last person to leave the ward and the next morning I rushed quickly to the ward to check on her. The whole day he was not still coming.

It delayed and kept on delaying so what I did was… on the hospital pavement I was pacing up and down and I believed in meditation…so around 12 o’clock to 1:pm, he finally arrived and he was very heavy. He came with a heavy body and big head.

The nurses tapped him and I heard his first cry and I made a sign of cross. This day brings back fresh memories and I really thank God for his life, he told host Jay Foley.

He went on to advise the ‘Grind Day’ hitmaker to stay true to his roots by remembering he comes from a poor background regardless of how great things have turned around for him.
