Ghanaian rapper and singer Fameye has dismissed claims that his growth and renewed confidence in the music industry are linked to drug use, saying his transformation is the result of artistic development rather than substance abuse.
In a social media post, the artiste reflected on his early days in the industry, acknowledging that he initially struggled with confidence. “Fameye came into the game very timid, and people complained,” he wrote.
The 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) Highlife Artiste of the Year stated firmly that he does not rely on any performance-enhancing substances. According to him, his evolution as an artiste came with the development of a stronger creative identity.
Fameye explained that his growth was influenced by embracing a bold artistic persona he refers to as “Peter,” which he says gave him renewed energy and confidence. “Peter came to my rescue with the energy and never folds,” he noted.
Responding directly to suggestions that drugs were behind his increased vibrancy and success, the singer pushed back strongly. “They say it’s drugs—take the drugs and see if you’ll be that blessed,” he said.
He ended the post on an optimistic note, writing, “2026 Yenko,” loosely translated as “Let’s go, 2026,” signalling confidence and determination about the future.
Born Peter Famiyeh Bozah, Fameye is known for his emotive storytelling and steady rise in Ghana’s music scene. His popular songs include Nothing I Get, Long Life, Praise, Thank God, and Very Soon.
