He has collaborated with artists such as Daddy Lumba, Kofi Nti, Barosky, K.K. Fosu, Sarkodie, and King Promise, among others.

For this reason, it is difficult to determine which of his songs made his list of lyrical regrets because Ofori Amponsah has an impeccable groove. He has some incredible songs to his name.

He did, however, regret recording several of his songs, including some of the hits we like. Yes, the tunes that still make us sway, tap our feet, or want to jump on the dance floor and let loose.

In the music industry, one must occasionally take certain actions in order to survive. I performed a few songs that were well-known throughout Ghana, but to be honest, I'm not proud of them because I had to do them out of hunger.

"I wouldn't have done those songs if my finances had been better back then; they weren't something I wrote from the heart. However, I had to pay the expenses, which included school fees and energy payments, he revealed.

Ofori Amponsah, on the other hand, asserts that if a musician creates songs primarily for financial gain, they may produce a hit song that briefly gains traction, but the artist and the hit song will quickly fade into obscurity.

"Musicians who prioritize their'stomachs' eventually lose their relevance." A great song may not be produced if a musician is constantly worried about how to get money to pay their expenses or take care of themselves.

"In this scenario, the money will take precedence over the information you provide, and you will quickly become irrelevant. A song like Abele might linger for a very long time because it originated from my "within." They are actually evergreen, he clarified.
