‘Once, I snatched corn from chicken’: Kwaisey Pee reveals how father ‘not staying at one place’ hurt his childhood

Highlife star Kwaisey Pee has shared how his father’s routine of “not staying at one place” impacted him and his siblings.
He told Nana Romeo on Okay FM that while some of the “different hands” he and his siblings experienced “by way of parenting” treated them as their own, “there were others who wanted to treat us as pitiful servants”.
Thinking back on those times, he said, “There’s a lot I went through because sometimes you had to sleep without food. It wasn’t easy.”
The moment that humbles him the most whenever he recalled it, he shared, was “when my father travelled for about two, three months.
“I was so famished one day, walking down the street, when I chanced on a roasted corn someone had thrown away, which was being pecked at by chicken. I was forced to drive away the chicken and eat what was left. I later found water to drink.”
Romeo asked about where Pee’s mother was during these trying times.
“According to the story, my mother left me to my father at the age of three months. I saw her later in my life. She passed not long afterwards. We didn’t talk much so we didn’t have a strong affection or bond. So, I didn’t have the motherly love or special mother-son relationship people usually talk about,” he somberly narrated.
This experience, he noted caused him to give “all my love to my father”.
Kwaisey Pee did not challenge the idea that his relationship with his mother, or the lack thereof, “could” impact his relationship with women.
However, he underlined the importance of “recognising everybody is different”.
The singer observed “because of the things I went through while I was growing up since being, let’s say, 8-years-old,” he had developed “what the footballers call mental toughness”.
The con, however, he identified was him becoming a chronic perfectionist, which, he admitted, had been received by some people “as arrogance”.
“And so unless you a deep thinker or you are on the same page with me, you will always have an issue with me. You may say I nag or that I’m difficult,” the Me Hia Odo (I Need Love) hitmaker explained.
