I Would End My Life In A Lecture Hall – Okyeame Kwame Admits

Veteran Ghanaian rapper Okyeame Kwame, born Kwame Nsiah-Apau, has revealed a deeply personal ambition beyond his acclaimed music career becoming a university lecturer.

In an exclusive interview with George Quaye on Joy Prime’s Prime Time Show, the multiple award-winning musician shared that teaching has always been a lifelong passion, one he believes will define the final chapter of his journey.

“If I weren’t a musician, I’d be a teacher without a doubt,” Okyeame Kwame said.
“Even now, as a musician, I still plan to teach. Before my life ends, I will be lecturing at a university.”

His desire to teach is not just a dream it’s grounded in real-life experience.

He fondly recalled a time when he taught in Meduma, a town in the Kwabre-East District of the Ashanti Region, shortly after completing his A-levels. That chapter, he said, sparked a deep love for education.

“I loved interacting with children. I loved imparting knowledge. I even enjoyed the preparation that came with teaching,” he shared. “That’s why I know I’ll eventually end up in a lecture hall teaching psychology, sociology, philosophy, or even the philosophy of African music.”

His story also includes a touching father-son moment. Okyeame Kwame recounted how his late father initially opposed his interest in rap music.

“Between the ages of 14 and 16, we clashed constantly about it,” he admitted. “But one day, he watched me perform. After that, he asked me to promise that no matter how far I went with rap, I’d return to school.”

That promise became a guiding force in his academic journey and continues to shape his future plans.

Today, Okyeame Kwame stands as a respected icon in Ghana’s creative space an advocate for education and personal growth. As he prepares to shift from the spotlight of the stage to the quiet authority of the lecture hall, his story comes full circle.
