How Kweku Flick’s “Black Stars” song quickly became a fan favourite
When Ghanaian rapper, Kweku Flick dropped his official anthem to support the Black Stars in the FIFA 2022 World Cup, he was mocked on social media.
Before the competition in Qatar, Kweku Flick worked with Smallgod to produce an anthem for the Black Stars of Ghana, which he titled “Black Stars.”
In an interview with the 4syte Tv he explained that he composed the song to show his patriotism.
“I did this song purposely to support the Black Stars and also tell people how patriotic Kweku Flick is, I think the whole idea came when Smallgod gave me a call and was like let’s do something for the Black Star team, I had that plan last 4 years to compose a song for Black Stars but we couldn’t qualify but I think this year is the perfect time,” he said in the interview.
After the official release of the song a month ago, Kweku Flick was subjected to ridicule, especially on Twitter as users mocked him for composing a “wack” song.

Soon enough, two other songs were released as the official Black Stars anthem; The Kentos Music Band released “Osey” and the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in collaboration with King Promise also unveiled the official Black Stars song.
However, as the competition progressed in Qatar, and as the Black Stars kept performing marvellously in the two games they have played so far, Kweku Flick’s song has immediately become a fan favourite.
Most especially, Kweku Flick’s love for Black Stars Midfielder Mohammed Kudus was conveyed into the song, and Kudus’ brilliant showmanship has led to a keen interest in the lyrics of the song.
The song has since gained popularity and has now garnered 443k views on YouTube with loads of comments and love from fans.
