Paa Kwesi Bannerman-Martin aka Joey B, surely saw the future two years ago when he told the whole world to watch out for the young up-and-coming songstress, Gyakie.
On December 6, 2019, the rapper introduced Gyakie to his fans via a simple tweet that read: “Gyakie will blow up and glow up.”
Exactly two years on, the ‘prophecy’ which was made when she was still a student at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has come to pass, and Gyakie is now the highest streamed Ghanaian female artist.
