Kofi Kinaata’s is among the wealthiest and most powerful musical stars in Ghana, Kofi Kinaata Net Worth estimated to be around  exceeding $2 million. And he exerts his influence not just through his music but also via social initiatives like Yentie Obiaa.

Kofi Kinaata, who is really a Martin King Arthur, is a Ghanaian singer and songwriter of some voice and repute in the music industry, with various awards to show for it. He was born in Takoradi, Ghana, on April 15, 1990, and spent what you could call his formative years, though I guess every year is formative in its own right, in a place called Effiakuma in the Western Region, just outside Takoradi. It was a community populated by traders and maidservants, where I might as well have been a ghost for all the effect I had on it. Only the people I would visit could see or hear me, and only then could I see or hear my very limited audience. In that space, whatever you could say about my mother and I, we were family members with serious business to conduct.

School Yaw Brempong Nana attended Kofi and high finished in Ghana at the Technical Takoradi Institute. After receiving his diploma, he sought the path of music and was established as a musician.

Kofi Kinaata’s Music Career

Kofi was in the 2009 Kasahari rap competition and became the second runner up. In 2011 he released his first single “Obi Ne Ba” which rocketed him to fame. Kinaata enjoys global recognition for the impressive way he wields words. He is definitely not scared to zig-zag around a beat as his punchy rhythmic Fante rap style suggests. He instructs and entertains his audiences at the same time with traditional proverbs and very modern scenarios he reflects the Ghanaian experience. His Fante is so excellent that you can’t help but feel he must be a native speaker, which of course he is. In February 2020 the Ghana National Gospel Music Awards 2019 honored him with the Hybrid Song of the Year Award. Kofi has also recently won the Songwriter of the Year award at the Ghana Music Awards for three years in a row. Another hit “Made in Taadi” he released in December 2015.

Several successful singles have been put out by Kofi, one of which is the deeply affectionate ‘Sweetpie.’ The celebrated Kin Dee produced the song which is in Fante a dialect of Ghana. Despite (or perhaps because of) this language barrier, the song has enjoyed expansive popularity, the result, I presume, of its enchanting melody, syncopated rhythms, and quite straightforward man-to-woman romantic sentiment. Another song by Kofi that was a big hit in 2016 was ‘Confession.’ Many listeners have drawn comparisons between this song and Carrie Underwood’s ‘Jesus Take the Wheel.’ An abridged version of the English translation of the song was even included Kofi’s other big songs, like ‘Confession,’ enjoyed extensive airplay across radio and television stations throughout Ghana, and it reached the Top 10 in 2016.

Kofi’s 2019 music achieved great success, drawing admiration from many platforms, which showed that they appreciated his talent. He reached premier positions on the iTunes Ghana Top 100, the Audiomack Ghana Top 20, and several other key charts. One could hardly spend any time on social media or in any public gathering during that moment when Kofi’s fans were not expressing their love for the artist and his music. Everyone was going Kofi crazy! And why not? He was on fire with no indication that he would let up any time soon. Notable Ghanaian figures like Michael Essien, Kwami Sefa Kai, Phillip Osei Bonsu, Sadick Adams, KiDi, Efya, Berla Mundi, Joe Beecham, Asamoah Gyan, and numerous others heaped praise on the track. Kofi has worked with a number of big-name artists, among them Sarkodie; Shatta Wale; Samini; Stonebwoy; Kwesi Arthur; Jayso; Castro; and Becca. Perhaps his most noteworthy collaboration certainly the one that most lifted him into the spotlight was a track called “Odo Pa,” by Castro, featuring Kofi and Ghana Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan, which became a continental hit and won multiple awards.

Kofi Kinaata signed with Samini and Tony Pun to Samini Music/High Grade Family in 2013. After five years with the label, he left in 2018 (his five-year contract ended). Now he is an independent artist.

Kofi Kinaata is best known for hosting an annual event called the “Made in Taadi Concert,” touted as one of the largest musical concerts in the Western and Central Regions of Ghana. The concert has featured numerous artists from across the African continent, and its stage has been shared by some pretty big names in the Ghanaian music scene, past and present Stonebwoy, Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, Pappy Kojo, Joey B, Kwaw Kese, Medikal, and Kidi, to name a few.
