“Fante vandam”, Pappy Kojo has said he has won his battle with depression.

The rapper took a sabbatical from the music scene due to his battle with depression. He has however revealed, he’s happy and doing good now.

In a chat with Berla Mundi on Starr Drive, he said: “I’m happy, I’m good now. I didn’t know how else I was gonna learn and grow. Right now it’s like I know what I’m doing. I’m aware of what I’m doing.”

The “Awoa” hitmaker also cleared the air that his battle with depression had nothing to do with awards.

“That year was just full of darkness. One, the awards thing, two, me and Joey [Joey B] weren’t cool that year. There were things that happened to me for the first time”, he said.

“I felt like I just wasn’t ready, I just didn’t know how it worked. I just came to Ghana and the only thing I knew was Joey. I didn’t know anyone before this music thing,” he said.

Pappy Kojo also revealed he saw a therapist for about 3 months but it did not work for him, so he had to devise other means to fight his condition.

“I had to work on myself. I stopped recording, I wasn’t doing anything at all. I felt like I didn’t want to do music anymore. Guilty [Guilty Beats] kept me going”, he said.

Touching on the subject of his feud with long-time friend and fellow rapper Joey B, he said they both understand each other better now.

“Joey is like my brother, and brothers do fight. But that year happened to be our first major fight. Me and joey fight every time. Now I know what Joey likes and doesn’t and vice versa”, he said.

Pappy Kojo is currently promoting his new single ‘balance’ which features Joey B, and expects to release an EP later in the year.
