Hiplife musician and radio personality, Fiifi Selah has said he regrets joining defunct Hiplife group, TH4Kwages.
Speaking on Hitz FMâs Daybreak Hitz, Friday, Fiifi Selah who recounted the history behind the formation of TH4Kwages said Atsu, Sane Dogg, Shortman and himself took a decision to break away from SASS Squad music group because the management at the time infiltrated the group with their girlfriends.
As colleagues who referred to themselves as Takoradiâs Highest Four (4) even before the name SASS Squad which was their initials, they thought of adding âKwagesâ because the person who wanted to produce them had a record label called â4 Ksâ.
Sane Dogg and Shortman later did not join which led to Olasty Bingo and Papa Flavour joining. However, he and Atsu Koliko were the face of the group.
The artiste noted that TH4Kwages lost touch when it moved from Takoradi to Accra and that caused the breakup of the group.
Despite how TH4Kwages is documented as a huge brand in the history of hiplife music, he believes joining a music group was not helpful. âFiifi Selah is on stage and someone asks âwhere is Atsu, when are you coming back as a group?â. They piss me off a lot. Those people who really knew me from day one ask why I didnât do my stuff. I thank the media a lot but I donât want to be asked questions like where is Atsu, when are we coming back and all that. It kills my vibe,â he said.
His negative response to whether he misses the group led to a question of whether he has regrets ever joining.
âI donât miss TH4Kwages. I didnât make money from TH4Kwages so why should I miss the group? I wish I didnât join the group. I neednât have joined the group. I had the clout already. I just had to join the group and help it to move. What they told me was to join because they couldnât produce me alone and all. I had already recorded 7 songs as a solo artist,â he noted.
TH4Kwages recorded a number of songs including âNana Esiâ.
