Before Kinaata’s clarification, Ras Kuuku had appeared on Hitz FM’s ‘Daybreak Hitz’ show earlier in the day and disclosed that he had originally contributed a verse to “Effiakuma Love” in 2020.
However, he was surprised that his verse was missing when the track was re-released in 2023.
The Puom Music boss speculated that his verse might have been deemed too strong, leading to its exclusion.

This version, according to Kinaata, was the one sent by his manager, Oh Joe, to Ras Kuuku for a feature.
However, due to an oversight, his manager failed to send him this version before he went to the studio to record a live version of the song. This second recording, done without Kuuku’s verse, was the version that was ultimately released.t
Kinaata also took the opportunity to stress that there was no animosity between him and Ras Kuuku.
