I don’t have to maintain my father’s legacy - Gyakie

Gyakie has revealed that there is no pressure on her to keep up her father's legacy.

The daughter of the Hiplife great, Nana Acheampong, stated that she is set on creating her own path instead of just existing in her father's shadow.

According to her, there is no burden on her shoulders since her father has not placed any expectations on her to keep up his buzz.

She said this while speaking in an interview with Graphic Showbiz: the prodigy maintained that she is set on carving out her own name.

I’m proud of my dad’s exploits but I don’t think I’m competing with him or trying to maintain his legacy. I don’t want to feel that pressure or weight in my young career because I want to progress at my own pace.”

“Besides, my dad has left a legacy. He embarked on a journey and successfully set the pace for others to chart. I am embarking on a journey as well and hopefully, make my own impact so there’s no pressure at all.”

“I know some people have raised the bar high for me because of daddy but I have already set the bar high for myself because of the music I have done and not because of my father,” she disclosed.

Gyakie, who is currently studying International Business at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), went on to say that she considers herself as an Afro-fusion artiste.

"I have my father’s blessings. He appreciates the path I have chosen and has been my number one motivator encouraging me not to give up. He always tells me that my only language should be winning and that is why even with my busy school schedule, I’m still doing music,” she said.
