Today is Kuami Eugene's birthday.
The Vodafone Ghana Music Award's Artiste of the Year announced the occasion himself by uploading a photo of himself standing beside a "brand new car" with the plate number “KUAMI 1-21” on his Instagram page.
“Happy +1 to Me. I toast to success, I toast to the good life. Whatever I put hands on I pray that God bless. I wish Me a mansion. I wish me expansion. I pray that I live long enough to finish everything that God sent me to do. Amen.” He wrote.

It was immediately reported by news outlets that the prolific artiste had gifted himself with a brand new car.
A closer look however will prove otherwise.
The Chevrolet is in fact the same car that the artiste reportedly acquired for nothing less than $25,000 for himself last year December.
He has only changed the colour and plate number; the car is still the same fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro, that uses a 400hp 6.0-liter V-8 engine mated with a six-speed manual transmission.
Only now, it has been changed from the previous yellow colour.

Originally designed by a South Korean-born designer Sangyup Lee.
The car was based on the Holden developed GM Zeta platform.
It was powered by a 6.0-liter LS2 V8 engine rated at 400 hp (298 kW) with active fuel management.
The engine was mated to a T56 6-speed manual transmission and the car was equipped with front and rear suspension featuring progressive-rate springs and gas-pressurized dampers, four-wheel vented disc brakes with 14-inch rotors, 21-inch front and 22-inch rear five-spoke cast alloy wheels, and 275/30R21 front and 305/30R22 rear tires.
The wheelbase is 110.5 in (281 cm), which is 9 in (23 cm) longer than its predecessor, but an overall length of just 186.2 in (473 cm), 7 in (18 cm) shorter. The concept was inspired by the 1969 Camaro.
