Award-winning Ghanaian rapper Paul Amankwah, popularly known as Kweku Smoke, courted attention after a video from his appearance at the University of Ghana’s Pent Hall Week celebration on Saturday, June 7, 2025, surfaced on social media.

The On The Streets hitmaker was among several high-profile Ghanaian musicians, including Kwesi Arthur, Stonebwoy, and RJZ, who performed at the event.

Nigerian music superstar Mayorkun, who recently flew to Ghana to host a star-studded listening party in Accra for his Still the Mayor album, also performed as a guest artiste at the University of Ghana’s Pent Hall Week celebration.

Following his electrifying performance at the event, Kweku Smoke's expensive red Corvette suffered significant damage as he and his associate prepared to leave the tertiary institution's premises.

Another driver accidentally drove his vehicle into the award-winning rapper's expensive car, leaving him furious and near tears, while a large crowd gathered around them and attempted to comfort him after the unfortunate incident.

Kweku Smoke remained silent as he assessed the damage to the Corvette before he and his associate eventually got into the car and left the University of Ghana school premises for their home late in the evening.

The footage from the incident triggered mixed reactions from Ghanaians, who offered their support to the rapper. The incident also came a few days after he was announced as the headline artiste for the 2025 edition of the Ghana Party in the Park music festival in the UK.

The organisers of the event made the announcement with a video on social media, which showed Kweku Smoke receiving a call offering him the opportunity to headline the show while he played golf with his friend.

Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh on Kweku Smoke's incident

Speaking to YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh shared his thoughts on the incident involving Kweku Smoke's car at the Pent Hall Week celebration last week and how best event organisers can ensure that artistes' properties are safeguarded whenever they go for a music concert.

He said:

"Event organisers are responsible for ensuring that booked stars are protected at the venue and within a designated radius around it so that the event runs smoothly. If more attention had been paid, I don't think the accident would have involved Kweku Smoke."

Who is Kweku Smoke?

Kweku Smoke (Paul Amankwah) was born on November 25, 1997, in Kumasi, Ghana, and is a young emerging artist in Ghana's hip-hop industry known for his passion and lyrical content. His family believed he would be a lawyer, but he developed a love for music at a young age after watching his brother, KFingerz, record in his home studio when he was in primary school. He started releasing music under the stage name YRS, but officially changed his name to Kweku Smoke in 2019.

Kweku Smoke received his first big break when legendary rapper Sarkodie endorsed him and helped him on the song "Yedin," which became a hit and pushed him into the public eye. Since that time, Kweku Smoke has dropped numerous projects, including his biography Snoop Forever, which is an emotional tribute to his brother who died, and Big Shmoke, which exhibits his mixing of hip-hop, trap, and Afrobeat-influenced sounds.

Kweku Smoke raps fluently in Twi, pidgin and English; he raps predominantly on themes of youth issues, hustle and self-identity. He has been embroiled in controversy before, most notably one with Shatta Wale, as well as a few others, but he's stayed true to himself and built a fanbase through telling his unequivocally authentic stories as well as providing quality visual content for this and promoting it on social media.

He's respected for his artistry and street credibility; Kweku Smoke is one of the most promising rap talents in Ghana and has been recognised for his lyrical ability and love of the genre.
