He added that his Kinaata’s camp mentioned a huge amount which he couldn’t afford, and so he decided he would release the cover and then when he gets money later, release the original song with Kinaata.
Kwabena Currency mentioned the title of his song as Pe eni be shwe, which literally means come and see something with your eyes.
He said he later got support from school father and called Kinaata’s manager who said they would take 10,000 for the feature.
Kwabena said he begged for reduction because he could not afford that amount.
