Ghanaian musician Kofi Mole has opened up about the impact of fatherhood on his music career, revealing that becoming a parent contributed to a decline in his music output in recent years.
The rapper made the revelation during an interview on the On the Line podcast, where he explained that becoming a father required him to dedicate more time to his son and experience life outside the music industry.
According to Kofi Mole, his seven-year-old son became a major priority, prompting him to step back from music and focus on his responsibilities as a parent.
The Ghanaian musician said his work rate declined because he was no longer releasing music as frequently as he had done previously. He explained that, as a new father, he needed time to adjust to his responsibilities while also travelling outside Ghana and exploring new experiences.
Kofi Mole said these factors contributed to his reduced presence in the Ghana music industry and the decline in his music releases.
