On Monday, April 17, 2023 at 4:25 PM, David Otu-Aboagye, who bears a striking resemblance to Kuami Eugene, clarified that he has never impersonated the highlife artist before. Instead, he explained that Ghanaians simply refer to him as a "carbon copy" of Kuami Eugene. David emphasized that his resemblance to the artist does not affect Kuami Eugene's brand because he does not use it for his work or claim the name.
David requested that people should not insult or attack him because of his appearance, and called on celebrities to stop insulting those who resemble artists. He also expressed that he does not want to discuss Shatta Wale's lookalikes, as the artist has none.
Meanwhile, Ghanaians have criticized artists who insult celebrity lookalikes, and praised the lookalikes for providing a platform for upcoming artists to showcase their music. In related news, Fameye, the "Questions" singer, commended his lookalike, Young Fameye, for promoting his songs on Instagram, but expressed displeasure with the use of their images to make money.
