Emmanuel Nana Appiah Boateng, popularly known as Kontihene, has explained his recent decision to quit music.

He stated that he does not see himself as a musician anymore, a reason he has been silent for two years.

The artist announced his decision to quit music in an interview with Abeiku Santana.

He explained that he thought of quitting music years ago after he released his first album.

The ‘Aketesia’ hit maker revealed he mostly rescinds his decision and hits the studio again.

However, this time, the artist says he has said good bye to the music industry and plans never to return.

“For the last two years, I haven’t released any song. I featured Yaa Pono…I doubt I will do music anymore. I am believing in God to change the story and the sequence [SIC],” he said.

Kontihene, however, stated emphatically that he was not leaving the industry because of new artistes or the competition they bring.

“The kind of songs Ghanaians want isn’t hard to do. Now Ghanaians don’t want quality songs. They want senseless songs. I am not destroying the business”.

Kontihene is also credited for helping Kwabena Kwabena have his breakthrough in the music industry.
