“It’s Dangerous – Okyeame Kwame Reveals His Mother Prevented Him from Joining the Freemasons”

Ghanaian rapper Okyeame Kwame recently shared insights during a conversation with Blakk Rasta, revealing how his mother influenced his important life decisions. She played a crucial role in persuading him to decline the title of Nkosuohene (Developmental Chief) and advised him against joining the Freemasons, citing potential dangers. Okyeame Kwame expressed his deep trust in her wisdom, which has consistently guided him away from paths she believed could be harmful.

“I owe everything to her,” he said with a reflective smile. “She’s been my guiding light, always steering me away from paths she believes could harm me,” he remarked during the interview on 3FM.

One of the most significant revelations from their discussion was his decision to turn down the prestigious title of Nkosuohene, which was offered to him by a close friend who holds a chieftaincy position in Adum. For many, accepting such an honor would be seen as a chance to secure one’s legacy, but for Okyeame, it was not a decision he could make alone.

“I had to ask my mother first,” he explained. “When I told her about it, she didn’t hesitate. She said, ‘Kwame, chieftaincy is a responsibility that comes with dangers you might not foresee. I don’t want you caught up in that world.’ Her words resonated with me, and I turned it down.”

His mother’s wisdom went beyond matters of chieftaincy. Okyeame Kwame also disclosed that she intervened when he contemplated joining the Freemasons, a globally recognized fraternal organization.

“I was drawn to the principles they stood for,” he admitted, “but when I brought it up to my mother, she was adamant. She told me, ‘Freemasonry is dangerous. You could be putting your life at risk if you join.’ That was enough for me to reconsider.”

Freemasonry, known as the world’s oldest fraternity rooted in medieval stonemason guilds, emphasizes brotherhood, charity, and personal growth. However, in many African societies, it is often viewed with suspicion due to various myths and misconceptions.

For Okyeame Kwame, his mother’s perspective ultimately mattered more than his curiosity.
