Ghanaian musician Okyeame Kwame has taken on a new role in academia, announcing that he has started teaching second-year Development Communication students at the University of Media, Arts and Communication (UniMAC).
The award-winning rapper shared the news in an Instagram post this week, describing the experience as an opportunity for mutual learning between himself and his students.
“My second-year students in Development Communication are teaching me more than I teach them. It is a beautiful experience, and I am grateful to GIJ for this great learning opportunity,” he wrote.
He also promised to give his followers a glimpse into his classroom experience, adding, “I will share some of my lectures with you.”
Although he did not disclose his formal academic designation or the nature of his appointment, the announcement has added a new dimension to his career beyond music and entrepreneurship.
Okyeame Kwame's academic journey includes a bachelor's degree in Akan and Sociology from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), a master's degree in Strategic Marketing from the University of Ghana, and a master's qualification in Alternative Dispute Resolution from the Institute of Paralegal Training and Leadership Studies (IPLS), which he completed in March 2024.
He also pursued an MPhil in Strategic Public Relations at UniMAC, formerly the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ).
Okyeame Kwame rose to prominence in the mid-1990s as one half of the hiplife duo Akyeame before establishing a successful solo career with hit songs including Woso, Faithful and Made in Ghana.
