The vibes at Amakye Dede’s 50 Years of Music bash in London? Pure nostalgia—like, you could practically taste it in the air. And then KK Fosu steps up and, with a grin, calls himself the “Prince of Highlife.” Not king. Prince. Bold move, honestly.
Some folks will probably say, “C’mon, KK, with your track record, just own the throne already.” But nah, the guy picks ‘prince’ on purpose—bit of humility, bit of respect for the OGs. When he chatted with Graphic Showbiz on June 21, he basically said, “Look, prince is the sweet spot. It’s about respect. Keeps my ego in check.”
He’s got a point. The real Highlife kings? The legends who started it all—they’re not just history books or old vinyl sleeves. They’re still out there, kicking, dropping wisdom, and, apparently, keeping KK Fosu on his toes. “If I’m still learning from these guys, how am I supposed to call myself king?” he laughed. Makes sense, right?
For KK, Highlife isn’t just catchy tunes and weekend parties—it’s like, the pulse of Ghana. No myth, no exaggeration. “Highlife is real. It’s our culture, our roots,” he said, and you could almost hear the pride in his voice.
He didn’t miss a chance to school the new kids on the block, either. His advice? Don’t get lost chasing trends. Listen to the legends, make good music, don’t let the roots dry up. Simple, but real.
And if you think this is just PR fluff, take a peek at his motto: “We don’t stop.” Not just a catchy line for Instagram—dude’s living it. That’s his whole vibe.
