Ghanaian musician Epixode has voiced his displeasure over a recent blog post that compared Kelvyn Boy to Samini in terms of live performance. Taking to Facebook, the celebrated reggae/dancehall artist did not hold back, calling the comparison disrespectful and dismissing it as an attempt to make a mockery of Samini’s legacy and extensive catalog.
In his post, Epixode wrote:
“Seen some blog comparing SAMINI 2 KELVYNBOI when it comes to LIVE PERFORMANCE n asking who is better. None of my business tho but I feel it’s very disrespectful and like making a mockery of legacy n catalog. Leave the kids to grow and become legends if not One day We will also tell our kids that mentor came before concert party.”
Samini is one of Ghana’s most iconic musicians, known for his electrifying live performances, timeless hits, and unmatched stage presence. With a career spanning over two decades, he has played a crucial role in shaping Ghana’s music industry, particularly in the reggae and dancehall space.
His influence is undeniable, making any comparison between him and Kelvyn Boy who is still building his career—questionable.
Kelvyn Boy, known for his Afrobeats and Highlife fusion, is one of Ghana’s fastest-rising musicians. His smooth vocals, engaging stagecraft, and infectious melodies have earned him a dedicated fan base.
While Kelvyn Boy is a talented performer, Epixode’s frustration stems from the fact that comparing him to a veteran like Samini undermines the years of hard work and influence that Samini has had on Ghanaian music.
Epixode, himself a highly respected artist in Ghana’s reggae and dancehall scene, has always been vocal about respecting pioneers and allowing young artists to grow organically. His statement reflects his belief that:
Legends should be celebrated for their impact, not compared to rising artists.
Young artists should be given time and space to create their own legacy.
Music is about evolution—not competition between different generations.
By drawing an analogy between Mentor (a past music reality show) and Concert Party (a traditional comedy and music showcase), Epixode subtly warns against rewriting history and diminishing the contributions of Ghana’s musical legends.
Regardless of the differing opinions, one thing is certain—Epixode’s comment has sparked a crucial conversation about respecting Ghana’s music legends.
Rather than comparing artists, the focus should be on celebrating Ghanaian music as a whole. Both Samini and Kelvyn Boy have contributed to pushing Ghana’s music scene forward in different ways.
At the end of the day, Ghana’s music industry thrives on collaboration, diversity, and mutual respect. Instead of unnecessary comparisons, it’s time to support all artists in creating a lasting impact.
