During an exclusive interview on Hitz FM with Doreen Avio and Kwame Dadzie, the Asylum hitmaker shared deep and emotional reflections on romance insisting that while people may find companionship, pure love is almost impossible to come by.

Despite being admired as a “lover boy” in Ghana’s music scene, Olivetheboy revealed a surprising truth:
Most of his love-inspired hits were written from old emotional experiences—not current romance.
“Most of the love songs I write are not really from present times… they’re from past experiences.”
This revelation paints a new picture of the young star—one shaped by past heartbreaks and emotional memories, not present love stories.
