Kweku Smoke's FBI tweet could backfire if he has a questionable past – Ernest Adu Kumi

Entertainment pundit Ernest Adu Kumi has weighed in on rapper Kweku Smoke's recent social media post about the FBI, cautioning that the timing of the message could attract unnecessary scrutiny if the artiste has a controversial past.

Speaking during a discussion on Hitz FM on July 15, 2026, Ernest Adu Kumi acknowledged Sarkodie's role in discovering and nurturing Kweku Smoke's talent, stating that the rapper has grown into one of Ghana's notable music acts.

According to him, Kweku Smoke's comments have highlighted how Sarkodie identified his potential and redirected him towards a successful music career.

"Now, he is leaving it for us to know that he had something that people didn't see and, for that matter, Sarkodie saw it and decided to nurture that talent. That's how we're seeing the Kweku Smoke we are seeing today," he said.

However, Ernest Adu Kumi warned that if Kweku Smoke has any unresolved issues from his past that could be linked to criminal activities, making comments about the FBI at this time may not have been a wise decision.

He explained that such remarks could prompt the public to revisit the rapper's past and question the circumstances under which Sarkodie introduced him to music.

"However, I hope that he doesn't have a past that may come haunting him. Looking at the period or the timing, if he has some past that may incriminate him, then I think the timing was wrong, and it was not strategic,” he stated.

Ernest Adu Kumi added, "That is, if he has done something in the past that connects to the FBI arrest, the timing may be wrong. People will begin to find out what he was doing then for Sarkodie to redirect his attention into the music business that he is praising him for.”
