As long as Michael Jackson never sang in Fante, I won’t sing in English – Kofi Kinaata

Fante songwriter and singer, Kofi Kinaata has emphatically stated that it will be over his dead body that he sings in the English language.

Speaking to Abeiku Santana in an interview on Okay FM, Kofi disclosed that, he doesn’t see the reason he should sing in English when Michael Jackson never sang in Fante.

Abeiku wondered if it’s because Kofi could not express himself well in the English language.

” Why should I bother myself singing in a language that is not mine? Did Michael Jackson ever sing in Fante? Over my dead body will I sing in English ” Kofi Kinaata responded.
