Veteran highlife artist Kwabena Kwabena has voiced his disappointment over rapper King Paluta’s reaction to a female fan during a recent performance overseas.
The incident occurred during a show in the UK, where King Paluta responded angrily to a fan who appeared unimpressed with his performance — a moment that has since drawn widespread criticism from the public and industry observers.
Speaking on the matter, Kwabena Kwabena stressed the need for professionalism and composure from artistes, especially when performing on international stages.
“Fans spend their hard-earned money to attend shows. They deserve respect and entertainment, even when they show signs of disapproval,” he said.
He reminded artistes that being in the public eye means they are constantly under observation, and how they respond to praise or criticism reflects their maturity and professionalism.
“Fame comes with emotional pressure, but it also comes with the responsibility to respond with grace, not aggression,” he added.
Kwabena Kwabena encouraged King Paluta and his team to reflect on the incident and treat it as a learning opportunity, rather than a setback.
His comments contribute to the broader conversation around artist behavior, especially when representing Ghana’s music industry abroad, where public conduct can impact both personal brands and the country’s cultural image.
