‘He pointed a gun at us’ - Okyeame Quophi revisits tense encounter with Nana King

Okyeame Quophi, a Ghanaian radio presenter and former member of the defunct music group Akyeame, has recounted a tense encounter he and Okyeame Kwame had with Ashanti International Label boss Nana King.

In a video shared on X and sighted by GhanaWeb on November 9, 2026, Okyeame Quophi disclosed that he once advised Nana King to change his musical style to something he believed would resonate better with Ghanaians.

According to him, Nana King reacted angrily to the advice and pulled a gun on him and Okyeame Kwame, apparently feeling disrespected.

Okyeame Quophi further explained that his intention was to support Nana King and help him establish himself in the Ghanaian music industry, but his advice was misunderstood by the Ashanti International Label boss.

“I sat Nana King down because he is my big brother, and Okyeame Kwame is my witness. I told him that I had listened to his music since he came to Kumasi. I made him understand that, with the kind of music he was doing, there was no way he would become popular in this country. So I suggested that he allow us to write something relevant that Ghanaians could relate to as a way of saying thank you.

“Because of what I said, Nana King lost his cool and pulled a gun on me. Okyeame Kwame even ran away. As I was sitting there, my body was present, but my spirit was far gone. He pulled the gun, but it had no bullets,” he said.

Okyeame Quophi further disclosed that he eventually had to flee for his life after Nana King pulled the gun on them.

He narrated that despite the confrontation, Nana King later took their advice, changed his musical style, and released what became his first hit song in Ghana.

“Two weeks later, I heard Nana King had a new song. He was using Fella’s sample, and he was singing in Twi. He had become a highlife musician. And guess what? ‘Champion’ became his first hit song.

“I was sitting at an event when he came to tell me that the advice I gave him was spot on and that he felt he had overreacted. I was so furious, and I wanted to punch him. But he is bigger than me, so I had to control myself,” he added.
