He stated that the Lynx Entertainment signee has now been faced with the realities of an industry that often brings all its biggest stars back down to earth.
Guru said that he had previously warned Kuami Eugene about remaining grounded and not making decisions negatively affected by fame.
He recalled that years ago, when Kuami Eugene was enjoying the pinnacle of his career, he had reached out to him to work on a collaboration.
By this time, the Ghanaian star had all of the biggest songs, was winning the top awards and enjoying national notoriety.
However, when the artist approached him about a collaboration, he said Kuami Eugene turned him down for an irrelevant reason.
Musician gives reason for Kuami Eugene's snub
He would go on to explain that Kuami Eugene told him he had to decline the request because he thought there was bad blood between him and the CEO of Lynx Entertainment, Richie Mensah.
The artist went on to say that he knew there was no issue at all between him and Mensah, and he was disappointed in Kuami Eugene for allowing gossip to affect his decision.
"He said he couldn't work with someone who had a dispute with his boss, but the honesty is, I had no beef with Richie," he indicated.
He further explained that when Kuami Eugene was on top, he thought he had a false sense of hostility, and he went on Twitter publicly and told him to reconsider the way he relates with people in the business.

He further stated the industry is sure to humble anybody in the catchment, stating fame is only temporary and someone's career could go differently enough, especially after someone has made a little name for themselves.
"Right now, I am sure Kuami Eugene is currently experiencing what I said because he is a living example of your momentum dropping quickly."
“I told him to watch out; this game has a way of bringing people back down. Today, he’s the perfect example. He used to carry himself like he was untouchable. I genuinely pray he recovers and bounces back.”
Despite the critique, he stated clearly that he holds no grudges and genuinely hopes Kuami Eugene finds his feet again and returns stronger.
