One of Ghana\u2019s finest rappers, M.anifest, also known as Kwame Ametepe Tsikata, says he does not want his private life to be like a soap opera watched by the public.<\/p>\n

Giving an insight \u00a0on his off stage life, he further revealed that he \u201calways had a keener or deeper interest in music than the normal person\u201d adding that he had an\u00a0 interest in writing as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in my first rap group when I was in Secondary School. It was called Rebel Camp\u2014there was nothing rebellious about us though. It was just a nice name. But that was just how I got my feet wet. When I went to university, I got the chance to experience more of the different aspects of the music. I was hanging out with more producers, I saw different shows,\u201dhe stated.<\/p>\n

Commenting further on how his music career began he stated that \u201cI saw definitely more artistes outside of hip-hop so I basically dived into a music making aspect and maybe took a bit of a back seat even to the creation. Without going to a music school, that was music school. By 2005 when I finished college, I basically begun attacking it and in 2007 I released my first album,\u00a0Manifestation<\/i>. I did my first album the DIY (do it yourself) way; I recorded it, mixed it, got some money doing a Pepsi jingle, used that money to print CDs myself and I did everything myself,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/b>I\u2019m married to my music.\u00a0 My private life will be my private life which is the beauty of it. I give the people a lot in my music and if they listen to my music, they will know so much about me more than I want them to know. But one thing I\u2019m not interested in is becoming a public soap opera and people talking about whom is he dating and all that. It is of very little interest to me because I feel like there is a lot to be done creatively with my music that I don\u2019t need any of that distraction. It is an unhealthy distraction for people to be vested in what is my private life,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Answering the question on the reactions from his dad after becoming a musician, he stated that \u201c<\/b>I think he is fine with it. Who wouldn\u2019t be? He was at my studio release party last December. Everybody likes good music, so does my father.\u201d<\/p>\n
