Kweku had an impressive run last year and stringed together several albums, including Born In Hell.
In Holy Ghost, the intro track of Born In Hell, Kweku Smoke shared a heartfelt conversation with God, recounting his struggles growing up poor in Berekum.
In the song, the rapper named the famous YaaYaa, a rice seller in Berekum who has been in business for over a decade.
Kweku Smoke noted in his lyrics that the rice seller's generous portions helped him survive a phase of his life before fame and money.
Kweku Smoke is now one of the most successful rappers in Ghana. Last year, he hosted over 2,000 people from across the country in Accra for his critically acclaimed Revival concert.
It was a heartwarming moment when the Agyekum hitmaker reconnected with YaaYaa, his favourite street food vendor from Kumasi.
Kweku Smoke dapped her up and declared that her business has now gone international.
