“I received some money from a guy and went to Kantamanto to buy clothes. But there was a particular shop that I buy cap from. So one day I saw a cap in the shop that had ice cream inscribed on it. And I deceided to buy it because at that time, I had released my strawberry ginger song. So I kept going back to the shop. So one day the guy was like I know you and he told me he listens to my music. But at that time, I wasn’t established like this so I ignored him when he told me he is also a musician. At that time I couldn’t add his problems to mine because I was still rising. So I bought my things and left. One day his brother came to the shop and was like as for me I always come to their shop. So I told him a time will come I will never come there again and that was the last time I went to Kantamanto. And do you know who I was buying from? Kofi Mole. Yeah” he disclosed.
He further disclosed: “So the first time I saw him again after my last time at the shop was when he had released Mensah featuring Kwesi Arthur. So when I saw him, I was like this guy looks familiar but I ignored once again. Later I went to play a show at Accra Mall. So after my performance, his brother ran to me and said Mole wants to see me but I didn’t know he was called Mole. I was shocked. As I speak I have goosebumps all over me. He was in Kantamanto but today the story has changed”
