Ghanaian Music star, Kuami Eugene has revealed the likely age he might retire from music.
Kuame Eugene has stated that he is working very hard during his prime to save enough money in his bank account so that when he becomes 40, he will be able to retire from music.
The A-list artist stated he may bow out of the music scene and enjoy the fruits of his labour to avoid unsolicited views from others about his profession, possibly feeling exposed due to criticisms he frequently receives from a slew of doubters.
He claims that after he makes this decision, a lot of the negative feedback he receives will stop because he may not be actively involved in music again.
He said;
“When I get to 40, seeing me will be very difficult. When I get to 40, I can stop this thing [music] that I am doing. Why do you think I am working so hard to save? By 40, you can’t tell me what to do anymore. By 40, if I like I will play the show, if I don’t like it I won’t play it,” Kuami added.
Kuami stated that there will be a time people won’t have a say about his music again because he will be like Daddy Lumba.
“I won’t sing the song again unless I feel like doing it,” he added.
The singer also appreciated the fact that being a musician has been the perfect life for him and he is always grateful to God for making him a musician.

According to him, music has always been his passion and he loves what he does as a musician and since he is being paid for what he loves doing, he finds himself one of the luckiest people on earth.
He also warned that he won’t tolerate criticisms from laymen as regards his craft this year during the fresh interview.
“Sometimes people don’t understand music. I don’t get why someone who is a doctor and not a musician would get so mad about somebody’s music. We don’t complain about your prescriptions because that is not my field,” he said.
He added that there is even a beautician who appears on a radio show to analyze people’s music.
“People are so opinionated that they want to share their opinions about everything, even if they don’t have anything to say. I’ve seen a beautician sitting on a music show as a pundit before. She is just popular, so she gets on the show, and she is asked what she thinks about people’s songs,” he fumed.
