Kinaata was addressing the widespread belief among music fans that his rise to stardom was primarily due to being discovered by industry giants like Castro, Samini, and Dr. Pounds.
The “Effiakuma Broken Heart” singer emphasized that he was already making music before meeting them and that they did not discover him.

During an interview with Tony Best on Akoma FM’s Entertainment 360 on Saturday, Kinaata explained “The subject of discovery is sometimes overused or overemphasised. Discovering someone means unearthing a raw potential and letting the individual realise his or her talent, that’s what I call discovery”.
“I am grateful to all these personalities for their sterling contributions to my music career, they put me on a good pedestal however i don’t owe my talent and music career to them”.
“When Dr. Pounds met in Takoradi, I had been selected to be part of a rap competition which I won eventually, this means I was doing music already”, Kofi Kinaata said.
