While some fans have begun gravitating towards Kwesi Arthur's newfound hobby, the rapper has come under heavy backlash online.

The Fefenefe hitmaker's critics argue that he has diverted his attention from music to content creation, starving them of his music.

Others have also used the opportunity to fuel the widespread narrative that the rapper has fallen off - a saga he put to bed last year during the rollout of his latest album, This Is Not the Tape III.

They claim Kwesi Arthur has moved on from rapping about the themes of struggle and hard living, widening the gap between his new songs and his core fan base.

In a recent video published on TikTok, Kwesi Arthur addressed the criticisms about his new hobby, some of which he considered "evil and abusive."

"I will constantly show up as my whole self. I will shine my light as God has gifted me to. I'm someone who has loved food since infancy. Coming back to Accra, there are so many places which are on the level of the food joints I go to when I'm outside the country. Growing up, I didn't think there were a lot of varieties to choose from in terms of food. I've been dropping videos on TikTok, and the reception has been quite positive, but some of you have decided to be very nasty and evil. I don't appreciate that," he said in his video.
