Sit-in host Prince Benjamin (PB) wondered who Eugene is away from the public eye.

Behind the scenes, “Kuami is a good person,” Obibini Takyi Jnr answered.

He said he is often with Kuami Eugene and two other musicians.

He added, it is common to find them “together eating fufu we have pounded and laughing heartily”.

OTJ stressed, however, that Kuami Eugene does not joke with work even though he enjoys fun and company.

“If you see Kuami looks serious, it means it is time for work,” he said.

“He does not joke with his work, and he does not shy away from rebuking you even if you are older than him or he is friends with you,” OTJ noted.

According to OTJ, who has a hit featuring Kuami Eugene titled Sika No Ashi, they go out to play football every Sunday.

“Kuami is a very good person,” he stressed in conclusion.
