He is supportive but boundaries matter – Kuami Eugene on Look‑Alike

Ghanaian music star Kuami Eugene has shared a candid reflection on his relationship with a fan who closely resembles him both in appearance and musical style and who has been a vocal supporter of his career.

In an interview with Doreen Avio, the ‘Monica’ hitmaker said he respects the young man—whom he referred to as Steve Quamz, for his loyalty, but voiced concern about how closely the fan mirrors him.

“Oh we all knew, we all knew it won’t last before the look alike that supposed to be a good look alike, before there was look alikes that I met and gave money to and stuff so we knew it was just a matter of time just that when it comes to the Steve Quamz guy, I mention his name because I actually have some level of respect for him.”

Kuami Eugene added that the look-alike’s support has been meaningful and genuine, especially when he promotes the artist’s music with enthusiasm.

“Besides everything, let’s not put away the fact that when he sees my music he supports it like it’s his home and I appreciate it so much you understand?”

However, the performer said the line blurs when imitation becomes too close and starts affecting his brand and identity.

“I just don’t know how to bring him close to me because he’s like a clone… sometimes he makes a mistake and go and pick up my microphone and perform my music somewhere which is not legally right… he’s just somebody that loves you so much and wants to support you.”

Kuami went on to observe that fame can bring both attention and opportunity. He’s grateful the look-alike has remained a supporter, even as attention fades over time.

“Sometimes you know fame comes with some small money and some small attention and sometimes you have a video and it’s just a matter of time before it will go down and he has been supportive.”
