== Summary ==
Quophi Okyeame, earlier known as Okyeame Quophi, is a Ghanaian rapper, songwriter and producer associated with [[Akyeame]]. His work extends from the duo's [[Hiplife|hiplife]] recordings into writing and production for other performers.<ref name="quophi-joy">[https://www.myjoyonline.com/okyeame-kwame-is-not-a-writer-i-wrote-all-our-songs-okyeame-quophi/ MyJoyOnline: Quophi Okyeame, Akyeame and subsequent career, 14 November 2013]. Accessed 23 October 2026.</ref>

== Life and career ==
He developed [[Akyeame]] with [[Okyeame Kwame]], moving through live competitions and recording into a nationally recognized duo. After their separation, his activities included music production, video direction and broadcasting. Later interviews explain the reordered stage name as part of a changing professional identity.<ref name="quophi-joy" /><ref name="quophi-name">[https://www.pulse.com.gh/story/okyeame-kwame-or-sarkodie-who-raps-better-okyeame-quophis-choice-sparks-debate-2025061311181818202 Pulse Ghana: Quophi Okyeame interview account, 13 June 2025]. Accessed 23 October 2026.</ref>

== Music and style ==
[[Akyeame]]'s work placed rap within Ghanaian language and expressive traditions, with song and arrangement serving the duo's communicative role. Quophi's later songwriting continues that creative activity through other singers' recordings. In a 2018 interview he specifically identified writing as an ongoing part of his musicianship.<ref name="quophi-writer">[https://www.pulse.com.gh/articles/celebrities/back-again-im-still-a-musician-quophi-okyeame-2024072404383983403 Pulse Ghana: I’m still a musician, Quophi Okyeame interview account, 20 September 2018]. Accessed 23 October 2026.</ref>

== Works and performances ==
[[Akyeame]] songs such as 'Masan Aba', 'Asa Aba So' and 'Menko Medo' provide entry points into his earlier performance work. The 2018 interview names Becca's 'Sumie', from ''Unveiling'', as an example of later songwriting. Those different kinds of credits make it possible to follow his career beyond appearances under his own stage name.<ref name="quophi-joy" /><ref name="quophi-writer" />
