Ghanaian singer Kuami Eugene has faced backlash online after sharing a tweet that appeared to subtly place himself among a list of global icons, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Drake, and Michael Jackson.

Kuami Eugene, born Eugene Kwame Marfo, rose to fame after winning the 2016 MTN Hitmaker reality show and has since picked up multiple Ghana Music Awards, including Artist of the Year and Highlife Artist of the Year in 2020.

He left Lynx Entertainment in October 2022 to join another music label, a move that has since fuelled ongoing debate about the trajectory of his career.
