Ghanaian producer, singer, and songwriter Nacee has responded to the swirling rumours about his latest track, “Kwen Kwen,” which has caught the attention of fans and critics alike.
Known for producing hit songs that have supported the political campaigns of former President John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Nacee found himself at the center of controversy after a recent interview where his comments about the song’s opening line were misinterpreted.
The confusion began when Nacee was asked to explain the meaning behind the song’s catchy opening line, which some listeners found illogical.
In his response, Nacee clarified that the line was meant to be intentionally meaningless, a product of his creative process. “The line was designed to be playful, to show how creativity can turn something that seems random into something memorable,” he explained.
However, some critics and fans misread his statement, leading to an uproar. Many interpreted his words as suggesting that the entire song, which was written in support of Mahama’s presidential campaign, was devoid of substance.
This sparked debates across social media and among listeners, who questioned the integrity of the track.
During a follow-up appearance on Angel FM with Ike De Unpredictable, Nacee took the opportunity to set the record straight.
“Let me make it clear, I never said the whole song had no meaning,” Nacee emphasized. “I said the opening line was a creative choice, but that doesn’t speak for the entire song.
“Every song I write, including ‘Kwen Kwen,’ has a purpose, and that purpose is to communicate something meaningful, especially as we approach the elections.”
Nacee further explained that his artistic process often involves creating something out of the unexpected, much like many other top musicians who craft iconic lines from seemingly random thoughts.
“The idea behind ‘Kwen Kwen’ was to bring something fresh to the table. I wanted people to remember the track, and the catchphrase achieved that,” Nacee continued. “It’s all about expression. Sometimes, what sounds nonsensical to one person may hold a deeper meaning for another.”
Nacee’s track, which features catchy lyrics and a danceable beat, was produced to support Mahama’s re-election bid in the 2024 elections.
The song quickly gained traction, with many supporters of the NDC praising the track for its energy and vibe. Despite the recent misinterpretation, Nacee remains confident in the song’s purpose and impact.
