Kuami Eugene
Ghanaian highlife and Afrobeat singer, Kuami Eugene, is overwhelmed by the backlash he received on social media after joining the global trend, “Pretty Little Baby” challenge.
The challenge is a viral trend on TikTok where users create videos featuring baby animals, toddlers, retro fashion, and beauty tutorials set to Connie Francis’ 1962 hit song “Pretty Little Baby”.
Kuami Eugene, among the few celebrities in Africa to join the challenge, received backlash from social media followers, who called for him to take down the video of him singing. In a TikTok Live, Kuami Eugene responded to the backlash, stating that he’s amazed by the number of negative comments he received after joining the challenge.
“I recently came across this challenge on TikTok, so I decided to join it since it was trending. After recording the video, I laughed and decided to post it because I knew people would respond negatively. I was just joking, but the number of negative comments I’ve received has shocked me,” he said.
Kuami Eugene further lamented that following the release of his latest song, ‘Do Better’, he hadn’t received any massive attention, but the challenge had received such a massive reaction. “This is because Ghanaians were just waiting for the right opportunity for me to fault and roast me,” he added.
