In his commentary on the increasing trend of artists switching from rap to singing, Ghanaian rapper Kwaw Kese made the claim that certain performers were never ideally suited for rap in the first place.
The outspoken rapper implied in an interview on Hitz FM on February 16, 2026, that many artists only discovered their genuine creative identities after experimenting with rap.
“I said,” he said.
“They aren’t unique. If they become vocalists, the rappers may make money. Kofi Kinaata and King Paluta, in my opinion, were born to sing, not to rap. Peer pressure and others in their immediate vicinity pushed them to adopt rap.“
According to Kwaw Kese, these artists’ careers frequently take a dramatic turn for the better once they realize their innate talents. He believed that certain artists were able to reach their greatest potential by embracing singing.
He clarified:
“They never returned to rapping after realizing that singing was their actual calling, and they are now doing very well. People won’t like Kofi’s rapping as much as they do his singing, though. That is his actual purpose, and sometimes it takes time to find your genuine calling.”
Kwaw Kese insisted that the artist’s recent rise in fame is directly related to his completely embracing his singing talent, using King Paluta as an example.
