Halfway through their performance, Okyeame Kwame asked him: “Are you going to tell all the hiplife lovers that you will cut off your locks and change from a ‘Konkontibaa’ to an ‘Aponkyerenee’?” He confirmed, saying: “So like I said…I ve been saying this all the time that when I turn 40, it would be another Obour that will evolve.” He revealed that from his next birthday, a new Obour will be born, adding that Ghanaians should anticipate something big when that happens.
