Young and rising afrobeat and hip hop artiste, Kofi Mole, has disclosed that Ghana's veteran footabll legend, Abedi Pele, is his biggest inspiration.
Born Edward Kofi Agyemang Amoah, Kofi Mole, eulogised the football legend and described him as "one of the biggest Ghana icons”.
In a song titled ‘Abedi Pele’, the 2019 3Music Awards Next Rated Act, talks about he being an African champion and legend, just like the Maestro who never misses a strike.
According to the winner of the 2020 VGMA Hip Hop Song of The Year, after reading and watching a lot of Abedi’s stories and videos, he has always been inspired by his humble beginning to reaching the top level in football, an amazing story of a true icon and worth emulating.
After a series of questioning, Kofi Mole, spoke about why the song focused on Abedi Pele.
“I titled my song Abedi Pele because the Maestro inspires my lot,” he said Friday, on Sports Salad with Angel 102.9 Fm’s Saddick Adams.
“Abedi Pele is a legend and one of Ghana’s biggest icon in history. I compare the strides he made on the pitch to the impact I am also making. Though he is way ahead of me. I was amazed when I saw a picture of Abedi Pele in dreadlocks. I just saw myself in him. I put his story alongside mine and inspired mention to write my Abedi Pele song. I met Abedi at the airport and it was a surreal moment for me,” he added.
Interestingly, the Makoma hit maker is a staunch Accra Hearts of Oak fan who is hoping to one day compose a song for the rainbow family.
