Ghanaian music icon Okyeame Kwame, born Kwame Nsiah-Apau, has shared an unexpected but deeply personal ambition that may surprise fans—he’s preparing to become a university lecturer.
In a recent appearance on a television interview, the award-winning rapper opened up about a passion for teaching that has been quietly shaping his life behind the scenes. While his career in music has brought him decades of acclaim, his long-term vision involves stepping into academia.
His passion for education is far from new. Years ago, after completing his A-levels, he taught in the town of Meduma in the Ashanti Region. That experience, he says, awakened a strong desire to impart knowledge—a feeling that has remained with him ever since.
Rather than just dabbling in education, Okyeame Kwame envisions himself fully transitioning into the role of a lecturer. His areas of interest include subjects like philosophy, sociology, psychology, and even African music theory.
The story behind this dream also touches on his relationship with his late father. During his teenage years, the rapper faced constant opposition from his father over his choice to pursue music. But a turning point came after a live performance changed his father’s perception—leading to a heartfelt promise: no matter how far he went with music, he would return to school.
Okyeame Kwame kept that promise, and today, his journey reflects a blend of creativity, responsibility, and academic purpose. As he prepares to turn this dream into reality, he’s proving that reinvention is possible—even at the peak of one’s career.
