The music production mogul said that his admiration for the ‘Open Gate’ hit maker goes beyond the ordinary, adding that he would have fallen in love with the Lynx Music signee if he (Goodies) was born a female.

Goodies made this revelation on Tête-a-tête, a weekend entertainment Talk Show on Asempa FM.

He recounted his first encounter with Kuami Eugene at the National Theatre when he went to witness a music reality show.

According to him, Kuami Eugene performed at the event and he (Goodies) was so excited to see him for the first time after years of admiring his songs from afar.

“I saw Kuami Eugene perform at the event and I was so happy to see him. I already loved his song especially ‘Angela’, but my encounter with him at the National Theater was the first time,” he said with a smile.

The producer of music giants like VIP music group, former Rap sensation, Philip Akpor Kojo Kainya, known in the entertainment circle as Lord Kenya, VIP, Berima Sidney, Mzbel among others said that he has had the opportunity to meet great international entertainment gurus like 50 Cent and Steven Seagal but his encounter with Kuami Eugene was exceptional.

“I just love that boy and I was so happy that he became part of Pat Thomas’ project which I am producing,” he said.

Goodies is currently embarking on a music project with highlife legend, Pat Thomas and they have released two songs on the market.

The first track titled ‘Time will Tell’ features Kuami Eugene and the second track, ‘Sika’ also features Fameye.

The ‘Ahomka Wom’ producer believes that his project with Pat Thomas will be one of his biggest exploits in his carrier.

According to him, he was convinced by a salient voice he heard when he booked a seat at the National Theatre auditorium to resume music production.

Speaking on Asempa FM‘s weekend entertainment show dubbed Tête-a-Tête, Goodies said Kuami Eugene’s performance at the Nsoromma finale urged him to form a new digital platform, Goodies and Friends to get back in business.

The Chief Executive Officer of Goodies Music went on a break from music production after he was convicted and sentenced to a 13-year imprisonment with hard labour by an Accra Circuit Court for possessing 80 pellets of cocaine.

He was, however, released in 2014 after serving six years of his incarceration.

Isaac Abeidu Aidoo, who served a prison sentence at Nsawam prison for attempting to smuggle cocaine out of Ghana into the United Kingdom in 2008, said he wouldn’t wish jail for even his enemy.

Narrating his life story on Adom FM‘s Work and Happiness show, Mr Aidoo explained why he tried for the first time to smuggle drugs out of the country at a time when he was the ambassador for Ghana’s Olympic Committee.

Situations and conditions can put you in any situation and the first time I tried, that was my end. And I wouldn’t blame anyone but myself because I took the decision myself.

I wasn’t really having money and I had a big project in London and I was the ambassador for the Olympics committee and I was almost done with my Goodies Music Production there and I wanted to finish it.

He said it never occurred to him that he would be arrested because he had been flying in and out of London many times than he could count and his reputation played a big role for him.

I thought about it and I thought no one would ask me anything and I will still beg that the people I offended should forgive me. I never thought I would be arrested.

Funny enough the person who arrested me was my family member but he didn’t know. It was later that he found out but God had already planned that. He had his reasons. I thought I was finished, he told host Black I.

Climaxing his assertion, he said, I felt good after I was sentenced because going to court was killing me slowly. The pressure from the press and friends were too much. I wanted to be sentenced so I could have my peace of mind and call on God to help me.

It is something I will advise people against. Once you have life there is hope. I wouldn’t even wish for my enemy to go to prison. Even if you put a chicken in a cage and you release it watch how it feels. It is like you are half-dead.

According to him, he sees him as a young investor who had the zeal to sign artistes all in an attempt to support the dying music industry.

Talking about the Securities and Exchanges Commission and Bank of Ghana folding up his gold firm, he said:

Zylofon has made Ghana proud. The vim the man had and ventured into music he has to be helped. Everyone makes mistakes so we should find ways to help people than anything. He has employed a lot of people.

I am so proud of him, I see him in me and I want to just meet him and congratulate him. Falling down is part of human life what is more important is you don’t stay on the ground.

According to the former producer of VIP and Tic (formerly Tic Tac), there is no way an artiste manager can penetrate the Nigerian Music Industry if he/she don’t rent houses to spend time with their promoters.

Disclosing this in an interview on Adom FM’s Work and Happiness, Goodies elaborated on the fact that, you have to go and stay there and live there, otherwise it won’t work.

We rented and stayed there. We even had to act like Nigerians and all my artistes were big then, he told host Black I.

Goodies was arrested at the Kotoka International Airport on April 23, 2008 on suspicion of possessing narcotic drugs while going through departure formalities to board a flight to London.

Then on November 26, 2008, he was sentenced to a 13-year imprisonment with hard labour by an Accra Circuit Court for possessing 80 pellets of cocaine after it took the prosecution about six months to gather evidence against him.

Before going to prison, Goodies produced a tall list of other hiplife artistes like Tic Tac, Sydney, Lord Kenya, Nana Kwame, Mzbel and a lot of others.

Grateful to Goodies Music International for believing her brand at 41 years, she expressed excitement to start crawling her way into the international market.

Making the revelation on Instagram, Mzbel said just when she thought her career was over, the record label knocked on her door in a bid to revive her ailing career.

The ’16 years’ hiplife artiste has pledged to inject more effort to make her new record label, Ghanaians and the world proud.

MzBel’s career span from 2004 when she released her first song, ‘Awoso me’, under the roof of Hush Hush Studios.
