And when Kweku Flick spoke, it wasn’t with insults or industry politics. It was confusion, relief, and brotherhood rolled into one post.
In a recent message shared on X (formerly Twitter), Kweku Flick reacted to news surrounding Kwesi Arthur’s ongoing issues with his former label, Ground Up Chale, and suddenly, a lot of unanswered questions made sense to him.
“I now understand why all our collaborations couldn’t happen… I have been worried about this for a long time. Was asking myself ‘why why why doesn’t he like me?’ Not knowing it wasn’t his fault!!”
That line hit many people hard. Especially artists who know how silent industry battles can kill relationships before they even start.
Not Beef. Not Ego. Just Pressure.
For a long time, fans had wondered why two artists from the same space, same energy, same era, never locked in properly. Some assumed pride. Others whispered rivalry. Kweku Flick says it was none of that.
According to him, what Kwesi Arthur has been dealing with behind the scenes explains everything. From label pressure to legal and financial tension, it wasn’t a creative choice and a survival mode.
And Kweku Flick made it clear: there’s no bad blood here.
“I love you @KWESIARTHUR_. If God says you’re the chosen one, who be man?? Don’t ever lose your mind my brother.” That wasn’t PR talk. That was personal.
I now understand why all our collaborations couldn’t happen, I have been worried about this for a long time. Was asking myself “why why why doesn’t he like me”?? Not knowing it wasn’t his fault!! I love you @KWESIARTHUR_ 🫂🫂 .If God says you’re the chosen one, who be man ??…
Kwesi Arthur, in a recent interview, revealed that Ground Up Chale is chasing him for an alleged debt of $150,000, a figure that has sparked serious conversation within the music industry.
Who owes who? What exactly was signed? What was recoupable and what wasn’t?
Those details are still being debated. But one thing is clear: when contract issues reach this level, they don’t just affect money—they affect mental health, collaborations, and careers. Kweku Flick didn’t dodge that reality. Instead, he addressed the human side. “Your mental well-being matters… stay strong.” That line alone says plenty.
“I’m Ready to Support You” — No Conditions
In a move many didn’t expect, Kweku Flick went further. He publicly pledged his support to Kwesi Arthur, saying he’s ready to help in any way possible, even if that includes a feature. But I am ready to support him with $5000 which I can now from my free will but if he want me to help him pay his full debt $150,000 his former record label is requesting from him, I have to ask for permission from my mother.
No fine print. No clout chasing. Just support. In an industry where artists often stay silent to avoid problems, that kind of public solidarity is rare. And meaningful.
Bigger Than Just Two Artists
This is no longer just about Kwesi Arthur or Ground Up Chale. It’s about how many artists quietly deal with contract disputes, financial pressure, and mental strain while the public only sees the fame.
It’s also about how many potential collaborations die before they even breathe—because paperwork and pressure get in the way of creativity.
Kweku Flick’s message didn’t solve the problem. But it did something else.
It reminded people that behind the headlines are real humans, still trying to make sense of promises, contracts, and dreams that didn’t go as planned.
For now, the industry watches. The fans listen. And Kwesi Arthur is not walking this road alone.
