Ghanaian highlife star Kwabena Kwabena is not keeping quiet — and he’s setting the record straight in bold fashion!
Amid swirling allegations that he sabotaged this year’s Valentine’s Day concert celebrations, the “Adult Music” hitmaker has come out swinging, declaring loud and clear:
“I started the Val’s Day concert tradition in Ghana!”
THE CLAIM THAT SHOOK SOCIAL MEDIA
The controversy erupted after critics accused the veteran musician of undermining other event organizers tied to Valentine’s Day shows. But Kwabena Kwabena says the narrative is completely false — and frankly, unfair.
According to him, long before February 14 concerts became a crowded, competitive staple on Ghana’s entertainment calendar, he was the pioneer who turned Valentine’s Day into a signature live music experience.
And he’s not backing down.
“PUT RESPECT ON MY NAME”
In a passionate response, the singer emphasized that his Valentine’s Day concerts were built from the ground up through years of dedication, consistency, and investment in live band music.
For Kwabena Kwabena, it’s not just about one event — it’s about legacy.
He insists he has never sabotaged anyone’s show and has no reason to do so. Instead, he says he paved the way for what has now become an annual tradition embraced by multiple promoters and artists across the country.
THE BIRTH OF A TRADITION
Valentine’s Day in Ghana has evolved into one of the biggest nights for concerts, romantic live band performances, and star-studded showcases. But Kwabena Kwabena maintains that when he first conceptualized his February 14 concerts, it wasn’t a trend — it was a risk.
At the time, themed love concerts weren’t the norm. Today? They dominate the calendar.
And that, he suggests, didn’t happen by accident.
FANS DIVIDED, INDUSTRY WATCHING
As the debate intensifies, fans are split. Some are applauding the artist for defending his contribution to Ghana’s live music culture. Others argue that Valentine’s concerts have evolved into a collective industry effort.
What’s clear is this: Kwabena Kwabena isn’t letting his legacy be questioned without a fight.
MORE THAN JUST A CONCERT
For the highlife crooner, Valentine’s Day represents more than ticket sales or headlines — it represents a cultural shift he believes he helped spark.
