Ghanaian musician and songwriter, Kuami Eugene, has indicated that his feature on colleague Sarkodie's 'Happy Day' has had a negative toll on his career.

In an interview on Hit FM, the musician indicated that he has constantly received insults from music lovers for his feature.

According to the "Canopy" hitmaker, he had to explain to his fans and family that he is not a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and that he had no idea that Sarkodie would sound partisan on the song.

I am still suffering for that [feature]. I don’t know what conversation led to the decision that it should be Kuami Eugene, and after I did the chorus from the first verse, I heard from senior man [Sarkodie], and it ended up that way. I have to explain for the rest of my life that I am not part of it when it comes to it being an NPP song," he said.

Kuami Eugene further noted that he felt disappointed when he heard the song in the public domain.

"I think it is a Kuami Eugene-Sarkodie conversation that didn’t lean towards that direction. The conversation was from a different direction and later it went in that direction. I just felt a little disappointed because I still pay for it,” he noted.

On the song, which initially sounded inspirational, Sarkodie shifted to a partisan tone towards the end, praising the Free SHS policy implemented by the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government and subtly endorsing the president's second-term bid by saying, 'Nana, toa so'—an Asante Twi phrase meaning 'Nana, continue [governing for the second time]' in English.
