In a Facebook post that has a picture of the duo, actor Kobi Rana and a Vodafone logo, Wutah Afriyie, one half of the group hinted that they are preparing to come out with a big project.

“Let them beef. After all, we are vegetarians. Something huge is coming!” he posted.

This comes few weeks after it had been speculated in the media circles that all was not well with the group and that a break up was imminent.

The speculations were mainly premised on Wutah Kobby sharing his solo songs on social media.

But responding to the issue, Kobby said those were songs he had done before their reunion and found nothing wrong sharing them.

He assured that the group was intact and ready to make greater strides.

Wutah came into the limelight in 2004 when it contested for the Nescafe Africa Revelation music competition in Accra and came second to Praye. The name Wutah is a Hausa word which means fire.

Their debut album, ‘Anamontuo’ which has songs like ‘Adonko’, ‘Goosie Gander’ and ‘Big Dreams’ earned them eleven nominations including The Most Popular Song of the Year, Album Of the Year and Artiste of the Year in the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.

In 2009, they separated and started recording their solo projects. Afriyie has released song like ‘I Do,’ ‘Love of My Life,’ ‘Tontonti,’ ‘Everlasting Love’ and ‘Here to Stay.’ Kobby also has songs like ‘Chiochio,’ ‘Pii Por Pii,’ ‘Warning,’ and ‘Father for All.’

They came back in 2017 and have since registered a huge presence in the music industry with ‘Bronya.’But Before ‘Bronya,’ they had released ‘AK47.’

Wutah, signed on to NKZ Music, has earned several nominations in this year’s Vodafone Ghana Music Awards slated for 14^th April, 2018 at the Accra International Conference Centre.

In an interview with Bernard Avle on Citi Breakfast Show Thursday, Afriyie, a member of the music group said they always draw inspiration from old songs to compose new ones and stated that their hit song ‘Bronya’ has its major taken melodies from ‘Nea Ye Boe.’

“We know we always tap from the old. The secret behind this song is that we took we took melodies of Safohene Gyeni’s ‘Nea Ye Boe’. So highlife melodies are embedded here,” he said.

Few months ago, manager of Wutah, Babiee Dapaah told Citi Showbiz that the song was recorded before the group went their separate ways in 2010.

“It’s true. Bronya was done before they broke up. We only took it to Kin Dee to redo it. So it is not a new song,” she said.

In the meantime, an artiste called Zenabu has accused Wutah for stealing her song for ‘Bronya.’

According her, she featured Wutah’s Afriyie on her song in 2005 and because it was not popular the group decided to revisit it, tweak it to create ‘Bronya.’

She added that even though they did not take the entire song, the fact that they picked some of the lines means they had not been fair to her.

“When somebody want to steal your song, they take the punch lines; sometimes the chorus, sometimes something that will cripple you from bringing yours. They stole my song and the evidence is there to prove,” she noted.

In Akan when one says “yɛbro deda, yɛntwɛn bronya,” it literally means they don’t wait till Christmas to get drunk. The connotative meaning therefore, is that they don’t wait for a particular event to take place before they take an action of urgency.

Wutah came into the limelight in 2004 when it contested for the Nescafe Africa Revelation music competition in Accra and came second to Praye.

‘Anamontuo,’ their first album had songs like ‘Adonko’, ‘Goosie Gander’ and ‘Big Dreams.’

In 2010, they separated and started recording their solo projects. Afriyie has released song like ‘I Do,’ ‘Love of My Life,’ ‘Tontonti,’ ‘Everlasting Love’ and ‘Here to Stay.’ Kobby also has songs like ‘Chiochio,’ ‘Pii Por Pii,’ ‘Warning,’ and ‘Father for All.’

On 24th December, 2017, Wutah will be performing at this year’s Decemba 2 Rememba organised by Citi FM, at the Accra International Conference Centre.

Others artistes on the bill are Kuami Eugene, Kidi, Ebony, King Promise, Captain Planet, MzVee, Magnom, Adina, Fancy Gadam, Adomaa, and many others.

A few weeks ago, there were videos on the social media pages of the members of the group, announcing their reunion.

When the news broke, most people thought it was a hoax or merely a stunt to promote a one-off project. However, the PR and Communications Director Nana Kojo Afreh assured Citi Showbiz that the two musicians, Wutah Kobby (Daniel Morris) and Afriyie (Frank Osei) had reunited for good.

“They are united to do music so people should be happy,” he said.

The new song, ‘AK 47,’ which was produced by Ceedigh is has a groovy beat and a style that brings back memories of the old Wutah. For those who really miss Wutah as a group, you just got served a good treat with ‘AK47.’
