Kumi Guitar has said he personally feels that if Chief Executive Officer of the defunct gold-trading company, Menzgold Ghana Limited, Nana Appiah Mensah a.k.a NAM1 had a way to pay Menzgolders, he would pay them instead of owing and being generally viewed as a fraudster.

The highlife artiste, who claimed that he also invested in the defunct gold-trading company, stated that he invested at the time because the company existed for years without the authorities coming out to issue an alert to the public on its operations.

He said this while speaking in an interview with Prince Benjamin on the Class Drive (CD) on Class91.3FM. 

“For a while, there was nobody coming at it, it’s been in the system for four, five years and there was nothing wrong with it. Nobody has come to question it and I worked with the CEO on the other side of the other company.

“So there was no alarm or nothing or so ever to tell you to be careful to go do anything or not to even invest there and I’m a hustler, I used to drive a taxi so if I have something little, I need to invest, every rich man invests. Everybody who is rich today or who is getting rich, I mean every man so long as you want to live and live well tomorrow, you invest in something."

The artiste is of the opinion that all customers of the company would be paid their monies if it is possible.

“My belief is that if all things go well, knowing NAM1 personally, I don’t think he wants to owe anybody, knowing him personally. I’m sure that if all things being equal if things should go as planned or well if it’s possible, he’ll sort out everybody,”

He then proceeded to narrate how he met Chief Executive Officer Nana Appiah Mensah.

“When I met him earlier, the first time he phoned me that he would wish that we work together, my little boy wasn’t feeling well. I didn’t even tell him about it, he phoned me and noticed in my voice that there’s something wrong. He said 'speak to me, what’s wrong?'; 'I’m like don’t worry,' he said 'Oh come on, we’re brothers,' I’m like oh my boy is not well and I took pictures of him and I sent to him. He had this rash all over him, everywhere.

“Then, I had lost my taxi, my engine, everything, things were down, he asked me to come over and he gave me money to take care of my boy, I mean I was surprised and I’ve seen him do things for people who need something. I’ve seen him give gifts out.”

“I might not know him entirely...but the few that I’ve seen, knowing him this few times, and knowing him back in school for a minute, I’ll say that he’s a beautiful soul, he’s somebody who wouldn’t take a poor man’s something to enrich himself, no. I don’t know him to be that way,” he added.
