I’m Just Afraid Of People, But It’s Not Hatred

Ghanaian music star Kuami Eugene has shed light on a personal part of his life, revealing that his cautious approach toward people stems from life experiences growing up in a ‘compound’ house.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Osebo on the Angel FM Evening Drive on July 2, 2025, the Lynx Entertainment signee clarified that his reserved nature around people is not out of dislike, but rather fear built from experience.

“It’s not that I don’t like people,” Kuami Eugene explained. “I’m just fearful of people. Growing up in a compound house taught me a lot about human behaviour. I’ve seen so many things that made me realize that not everyone has good intentions.”

He noted that the lessons he learned from that environment have shaped his ability to trust others. According to him, he became more alert and discerning at a young age due to the interactions and conflicts he witnessed regularly in the shared living space.

The highlife and afrobeat sensation is currently on a media tour to promote his new song “Do Better“, which has already begun gaining traction online. During the conversation, Kuami Eugene also opened up about how fame has made navigating personal relationships even more difficult, reinforcing his cautious nature.
