Renowned rapper and songwriter Eno Barony of Ghana recently recounted a heartfelt chapter of her life, emphasizing the crucial assistance Obour, the previous President of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), provided her with during a difficult financial time.
The ‘Heavy Load’ rapper shared a heartfelt revelation in an interview with Fiifi Pratt on Accra’s Kingdom FM. She related the amazing tale of how a fellow musician helped her out when she was having financial troubles.
Eno described how, one Monday morning, the “Killing the Game” hitmaker contacted her out of the blue to come to the East Legon Police Station. At that point in her life, Eno explained, she was completely broke.
She claimed that when she arrived, she discovered that Obour had asked her to the East Legon Executive Club to perform a freestyle at Osei Kuffour’s birthday celebration.
God bless Obour abundantly. One day, he called to ask me to bring my CD of music to the East Legon Police station.
It was Osei Kuffour’s birthday, therefore I brought a microphone. They were giving me everything while I was performing, but I was unable to handle it,” she remarked.
The rapper went on to add that the program’s MC put all of the cash that was thrown at her during her performance into his own pockets.
I made the decision to say hello to Despite and a few other guests as I was leaving. They would add small amounts of money to our handshakes.
“I appeared to be a priest who had accepted an offering in church when I got home. Upon opening the money swabs, I observed euros, dollars, and cedis. God bless Obour, Charley,” she continued.
Eno, who was raised in Tema, Accra, made her public debut in 2014 with the release of “Wats Ma Name,” her debut single, and “Tonga,” a remix of Joey B’s song featuring Sarkodie.
