I was never a member of the Asakaa Boys – Kofi Jamar

Ghanaian rapper, Kofi Jamar has clarified that he has never been a member of the popular music group, Asakaa Boys.

This nine-member crew from Kumasi, comprising O’Kenneth, Jay Bahd, Kawabanga, Cedi City Boy, Reggie, Kwaku DMC, Sean Lifer, Rabby Jones, and Braa Benk, has gained significant attention for their drill music. They have been diligently working on their sound and mastering the art of music production and promotion.

Kofi Jamar, whose real name is Derrick Osei Kuffour Prempeh, is best known for his hit song “Ekorso.” This track, which features Yaw Tog and YPee, emerged from the viral Kumerica/Asaaka trend. However, in an exclusive interview with Ekow Koomson on Citi TV’s “The Chat,” Jamar addressed the widespread misconception about his association with the Asakaa Boys.

“Let me clear this up… I was never a member of the Asakaa group. I was just familiar with them,” Jamar explained. “We all came from the same city in Kumasi. At that time, I was already making music in the city, and they were also coming up. As they gained recognition, many people started to associate me with them. However, they are the Asakaa Boys, and then there are others from the Kumerican movement like Kweku Flick, Frimpong, and King Paluta.”

The rapper  also mentioned that he has friends within the Asakaa Boys’ management and has collaborated with Jahbad and YPee on a recent track.

Discussing his new projects, the “Ekorso” rapper promised fans exciting new releases. “I have released my new song ‘Bold,’ which is a statement after my long break. I have also collaborated on ‘Wombom’ with Kofi Mole and Y. I am coming out like a new artiste,” Jamar said. This declaration sets the stage for a fresh chapter in his musical career, showcasing his growth and evolution as an artist.
