Hiplife legend, Okyeame Kwame has revealed that having his wife, Annica, as part of his management team has affected him both on the business and marriage fronts.
Speaking on Adom TV’s Showtym with Andy Dosty, Okyeame Kwame said that it can be difficult to separate work from marriage, especially when they are both involved in the same business.
“It affects both the marriage front and the business front…At a point when we had an office at Awudome, whenever I said something to her displeasure at a meeting at work when we came home and I tried to hold her, she frowned at it and said ‘So you know you were going to touch me and you were hard on me at work?’ and I go like madam don’t you know separation of powers? Didn’t you go to S.H.S?…and she goes ‘if you need me a home, be nice to me at work.”
Okyeame Kwame emphasized that although having his wife as part of his management team has been challenging at times, she has also brought a lot of fresh ideas to his career.
“When I won artiste of the year at the Ghana Music Awards, my wife had graduated from KNUST with a master’s in Branding and Marketing so she brought in fresh ideas. In fact, her master’s thesis was ‘Finding alternative financial route for the Ghanaian musicians,” he said.
He added that having children has affected Annica’s ability to contribute to his career to the same extent.
“I was the one with the blueprint but today, after she gave birth to our first and second children, she was all about her children, the energy and vibrancy she brought to my career was completely gone as compared to when she had no kids,” he said.
