I made so much money from 'Love Nwantiti' - Kuami Eugene

Ghanaian singer and songwriter Kuami Eugene has revealed that his feature on Love Nwantiti continues to generate substantial income for him years after the song became a global hit.

Speaking in an interview with Headless YouTuber on May 10, 2026, the award-winning musician described the song as one of the biggest records in the world and said it remains one of his most lucrative projects.

“The massive world hit that I’ve had, besides Angela, I’m on Love Nwantiti, which is one of the biggest songs in the world ever. That song is still paying us in our sleep,” he said.

According to Kuami Eugene, he receives royalties every time Nigerian singer Joeboy performs his verse.

“Anytime Joeboy sings my verse, I get an alert,” he stated.

The singer recounted an experience in China where fans rushed to take photos with him, only for him to realise they recognised him because of the global success of Love Nwantiti.

“I was in China and they were rushing to take pictures with me and I was surprised. I was like, what will my music be doing there? Then I heard them playing the song for me to hear and I realised it’s Love Nwantiti,” he shared.

Kuami Eugene disclosed that the song alone earns him more than many of his other projects.

“I get more alert from that song alone. I made so much money from ‘Love Nwantiti,’ and I’m still making money from it,” he added.

He also revealed that his earnings extend beyond collaborations and include publishing, performance rights and royalties from his own catalogue.

“YouTube sent me a message that my song is number one in the world. I thought it was my song so I quickly rushed to check it and I realised it’s not my song. Since I’m on the song, I’m still getting percentages all the time,” Kuami Eugene said.

He continued, “It’s been a journey, but God prepared me. I just love the fact that God prepared me for this thing. He gave me the idea to secure myself for the future.”

Reflecting on his departure from Lynx Entertainment, Kuami Eugene explained that the label still receives a share of the revenue from projects they funded because they own the masters to those works.

“Then, coming to my songs, I’m no longer with Lynx Entertainment, so it’s 50/50 with everything I make. Everything I worked with them on because they own the masters, so they still have 50% of some of the things that are not intellectual. They can’t touch my intellectual properties, but with the things they funded, it’s their project, so they still have a chunk percentage of it,” he noted.

He added that he continues to earn from publishing and performance rights, noting that his music income has secured his family’s future.

“I still have performance rights, publishing and other stuff, so it pays me. Right now, if I decide not to ever sing again, my features alone would take care of my mother,” he added.

“I made so much money from ‘Love Nwantiti,’ and I’m still making money from it. If I stop making music, my features alone will be enough to take care of my mother.”
