The former Xtra Large Music signee recently returned to Ghana with her husband from the US, where she relocated some years ago to seek greener pastures and continue her academic journey in life.

Kaakie's rise and hiatus from Ghana music
Kaakie emerged as one of the finest and most talented female dancehall musicians in the Ghanaian music industry in the 2010s after signing with renowned music producer and executive JMJ's Xtra Large Music record label.
The songstress joined the record label following her stint as a contestant on the popular music reality show, Stars Of The Future.
By her association with JMJ and his Xtra Large Music record label, Kaakie established a music relationship with veteran musician Samini and his High-Grade Family imprint.
In her first few years in the music industry, Kaakie released multiple hit singles including DC Turn Up, Zuuchia, Top Gyal Time, Too Much, Koomcha and Toffee Pon Tongue.
She also won multiple music awards including Reggae and Dancehall Artiste of the Year and the New Artiste of the Year accolades at the 2013 edition of the Ghana Music Awards.
Songstress Kaakie went on a long music hiatus to focus on her education after leaving the Xtra Large Music record label on bad terms. She went on to bag a BSc Midwifery degree from the University of Ghana.
The musician relocated to the US from Ghana in 2018 and earned her Master's degree from the Anglia Ruskin University in the UK in 2019. She tied the knot in a traditional wedding ceremony in 2020.
In 2024, Kaakie announced her return to music after a long absence and recounted how she made little money from her time with JMJ's record label.
Speaking with celebrated Ghanaian entertainment pundit and publicist Fiifi Adinkra, he asserted that seeing Kaakie back on the scene in Ghana was great. However, he feels if she is about to stage a comeback to music it will be difficult.
"The music scene has evolved drastically over the years. Many of her (Kaakie) colleagues in the female dance hall fraternity have all transitioned to doing afrobeat. So if she is planning to stage a comeback, I advise she take note of the terrain and make calculated decisions to stay relevant again in the music industry." he said
