In a nostalgic look back at one of the most successful friendships in modern African music, Mr Eazi has shared the humble beginnings of his relationship with Ghanaian star King Promise. Speaking in a new interview on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, Eazi revealed that the two first crossed paths in 2013 at an unlikely spot—a lotto kiosk in Adenta, which served as the entrance to the legendary Klu’s studio.
The "Leg Over" hitmaker reminisced about their early days as underground artists, noting that they were both just "boys with dreams" recording in the small studio tucked away in the Accra suburb. This revelation follows the massive success of their late 2025 collaboration, "See What We’ve Done," a song that reflects on their shared 13-year journey from the streets of Adenta to selling out global stages and attending each other’s high-profile weddings.
The Current Standings (April 2026)
The duo’s friendship remains a pillar of the West African music industry:
Mr Eazi: Global entrepreneur and artist; recently celebrated the success of his "See What We've Done" video, which featured scenes from his 2025 wedding.
King Promise: 2025 TGMA Artiste of the Year; currently preparing for his 2026 "5 Star" Asia Tour.
Collaborative Catalog: Includes hits like "Oh Yeah (Remix)," "Dabebi," "Call Waiting," and their latest anthem, "See What We’ve Done."
