Reigning VGMA Artiste of the Year, Kuami Eugene, has reacted to criticism of the Wele Sebe Kontomire line in his latest track Open Gate.

According to the sensational highlife singer, that part of the song is not gibberish but an attribution he made with regards to the story in the song.

Eugene released the Open Gate song in early August to much success. But after being named as the Artiste of Year Year at the 2020 VGMA, the song has come under scrutiny.

Many who think Kuami Eugene does not deserve the VGMA Artiste of the Year have made Wele Sebe Kontimire part of his song a reference point.

For them, the expression which literally translates as 'cowhide meat, garden eggs, and cocoyam leaves' shows Eugene lacks lyrics and thus does not deserve the award.

But in an interview on TV Africa monitored by YEN.com.gh, the Obiaa To hitmaker denounced the assertion saying the Wele Sebe Kontomire line must be situated in a context.

Answering questions from the host, Roselyn Felli, Kuami, Eugene stated that expression is one he got from his childhood when they used to sing that to mimic the walking movements of ladies with heavy backsides.

"Wele Sebe Kontomire is an attribute to a beautiful woman especially when the woman has a big backside...When we were young we used to sing Wele Sebe Kontomire when a woman is walking and her back is doing that thing."
