Ghanaian music star Kuami Eugene has expressed his admiration for fellow singer and songwriter Amaarae, labelling her a legend.

Speaking during an appearance on Joy Prime’s “The Doreen Avio Show,” which aired on July 1, he acknowledged Amaarae’s talent, saying she has been in the music space for years.

However, it is only recently that her name has been on the lips of many.

According to Kuami, Amaarae has extraordinary talent and has been consistent over the years; however, her style of music suits a specific audience, generally ones from the global community.

“She’s a legend, though. People she used to appeal to is not the regular Ghanaian masses. She’s been making waves since. It’s just quite sad that people are now getting to know Amaarae. But I’m excited they’re getting to know Amare now because the talent she has is insane,” Kuami Eugene added.

His comments come on the back of Amaarae's popularity in Ghana recently following her Coachella 2025 performance, where she performed songs by Ghanaian artists like Joey B, La Même Gang, Eazzy, and the Asakaa Boys, giving these songs more global projection.

Kuami Eugene referred to Amaarae as his “big sister,” reiterating his admiration for her craft.

"The funny thing is, it has never been quiet with Amare. It’s just her circle... That’s where she finds herself,” he said.

Before the visibility she gained following the Coachella 2025 performance, Amaarae had already released about seven songs, including her hit single Sad Girlz Luv Money, which charted globally and featured artists like Kali Uchis and Moliy.

She has since performed on major global stages and continues to be a leading figure in the alternative African pop scene.
