Member of Parliament for Amenfi Central, Joana Gyan Cudjoe, has announced the end of her seven-year professional relationship with music duo KECHE.

In a statement issued on Monday, August 31, 2026, through GEM Multimedia Ghana Ltd, Ms Gyan Cudjoe said the relationship, which began in 2019, had ended following the expiration of the agreement between the parties.

She said she had decided not to renew or extend the arrangement, bringing to an end her role as investor, manager and executive producer of KECHE.

“KECHE GLOBAL is no longer under the management, representation, investment or business operations of Hon. Joana Gyan Cudjoe or GEM MULTIMEDIA GHANA LTD,” the statement said.

The development means KECHE, comprising Andrew Kofi Cudjoe, popularly known as Keche Andrew, and Joshua Kojo Ampah, will now operate independently and determine its own management, investors, business partners and other professional relationships.

Ms Gyan Cudjoe stressed that the decision should not be interpreted as a fallout between the parties.

“There is no fight, hatred, bitterness or controversy,” she said, describing the move as “simply the closing of one professional chapter and the beginning of new chapters for everyone.”

Seven years of investment

According to the statement, Ms Gyan Cudjoe served as executive producer of KECHE from 2019 and invested significant financial and other resources in the duo's career.

Her support covered music production and recording, music videos, marketing, promotion, branding, artist development, photography, travel, performances and management.

The statement said her involvement went beyond financial investment, as she also provided leadership, industry connections and personal support to the group.

Ms Gyan Cudjoe said she supported KECHE because she believed in the duo's talent and wanted to help take their music beyond Ghana.

During the period, KECHE released songs including Odo, Today, Same Girl featuring Akwaboah, No Dulling featuring Kuami Eugene, Good Mood featuring Fameye, Faya featuring Epixode, Party of the Year featuring Mr Drew, Kiss, Papapa featuring Lasmid, Maame and Enjoy Life.

KECHE GLOBAL to operate independently

The statement further explained that the duo's name was changed from KECHE to KECHE GLOBAL during Ms Gyan Cudjoe's involvement, as part of efforts to position the group for a wider African and international audience.

“The name KECHE GLOBAL has now become their identity,” she said, adding that she was pleased to see the name continue.

Despite the end of their professional relationship, Ms Gyan Cudjoe said her personal ties with the duo would remain.

Keche Andrew is her husband, while Keche Joshua remains a member of the group.

“This announcement is not about ending their marriage, family or personal relationship,” the statement said.

“It is only a decision to end their professional business relationship and allow everyone to focus on their respective paths.”

She urged fans to continue supporting KECHE GLOBAL by streaming their music, attending their performances, watching their music videos and supporting their future projects.

Joana Gyan Cudjoe turns attention to new projects

Ms Gyan Cudjoe said her seven-year involvement with KECHE had given her valuable experience in music, entertainment, management, production, marketing, international business and partnerships.

She said she would now redirect her experience and resources towards new artists, music projects, investments and other opportunities through GEM Multimedia Ghana Ltd.

“After seven years with KECHE, Hon. Joana is now focusing her energy, experience and resources on: New projects, New talent, New music, New investments and New opportunities,” the statement said.

She added that KECHE GLOBAL would be responsible for determining its own future, while she would concentrate on her separate business and entertainment interests.

“Everyone is free to choose their own partners and direction,” she said.

In her message to the two musicians, Ms Gyan Cudjoe thanked them for their years of collaboration and wished them success in their next chapter.

“The business relationship has ended. The professional partnership has ended. But the respect remains. The love remains. The family remains,” she said.
