Ghanaian musician King Paluta opened up on his childhood, revealing that only his mother raised him.

According to Paluta, whose real name is Atta Panyin Kyeremeh, he was born out of wedlock and did not meet his father until he was almost an adult.

In an interview with Deloris Friompong Manso on The Delay Show, the rapper stated that neither he nor his mother knew his father's whereabouts during his childhood.

"I didn't see my father often. I think my single mother raised me. Before I was born, my parents were not married. When I came into the world, my dad was away. He was in Ghana, but we did not know his whereabouts," he said.

It was not until when he was about 19 years old that King Paluta finally met his long-absent father, who paid them a visit in Kumasi.

"He came to my mother and she discussed marriage with him. My father was the only man my mother had," the musician revealed.

Paluta, who recently survived an accident, went on to clarify that his mother had deliberately chosen to remain unattached after the separation from his father.

"Her interest in men withered after the separation, so her focus shifted to her children," he said.

Though the circumstances were unconventional, the singer stated his parents were able to rekindle their relationship before his father's passing in 2022.

The emotional reunion nearly two decades after his birth allowed the Ya Hitte rapper to finally bridge the gap caused by his father's long absence.
