Okyeame Kwame explains shocking reasons he doesn’t eat meat

Mr Versatile, Okyeame Kwame, has been off meat for a while now and has finally explained in detail why according to a report by GHPage.

The Rap Doctor has been vegan for over two years at this point. He has been a vegetarian for more than eight years.

Okyeame told Giovani on 3FM Drive that he has come to understand that animals experience emotions in a similar way to humans.

He went on to say that just as humans don't want to be slaughtered and eaten, animals don't either.

The famous musician admitted during his appearance on the programme that going vegan was not easy.

He was forced to give up some of his favourite foods, such as beef and cow meat, and had to learn how to prepare healthy and tasty vegan meals.

But he claims he has never felt better, both physically and mentally.

Okyeame Kwame went on to say that he even turned down a rich fish farming opportunity because of his beliefs.

The rapper claimed he turned down an offer of a substantial amount of money to invest in a fish farm because he did not want to make money by exploiting animals.

"One day I realised that my life is the most important thing to me and I realised that the cow felt the same way. The ant has the same feeling.

If I value my life and want to see my children grow up, and if the cow and the chicken share those values, then I shouldn't eat them. I stopped.

"I am a vegan, yes. Apart from honey, I don't eat meat or anything made from animals," Okyeame Kwame explained.
