Kofi Kinaata said:
“The discovery term, I don’t get it, but Samini has been really helpful to my career,”
“I got signed unto the High-grade family when no one knew me. It was Samini that they knew so me tagging along with Samini, his fans became automatically my fans,”
“What Samini did for me was give me a lot of exposure.
“When Chris Brown came to Ghana, I was now in Accra, Samini brought me to the stage to perform 4 or 5 minutes. Shows I wasn’t billed to perform even though he got me to perform. Samini gave me a lot of exposure,”
“But he didn’t really discover me. I was doing rap and music way back in 2008 but he pushed me from one stage to the other.”
