Being in the limelight has been my biggest challenge- Kwesi Arthur
Ghanaian rapper, Kwesi Arthur, has opened up about his greatest struggle since becoming a musician and stepping into the limelight.
According to the “Celebrate” hitmaker during his appearance on GBC’s Breakfast Show, he has struggled with being famous and having the world’s attention on his every move.
“Being in the public light, like everyone seeing what you do, everyone trying to judge your moves, yeah, I feel that’s a big challenge. Sometimes it gets like that (uncomfortable), but I feel like it comes with the job I do so, I just have to swallow the pill it comes with,” he said.
Kwesi Arthur went on to mention that being under so much surveillance has led to people telling lies about him. He detailed a moment when he was accused of being in a pornographic film, and how people refused to believe he wasn’t the one in the video.
“There was this video, pornography video going about, and like people were saying it was me. But it wasn’t actually me. But the way the video was, the person took it and degraded the quality of the video so you couldn’t really tell, and the guy had dreads like me. So, you couldn’t really tell. But even when the original, high-quality video was put out and like you could clearly tell it’s not me, people were still saying ‘oh it’s me it’s me’,” he recounted.
