Ghanaian artiste Fameye has recounted a troubling moment from his first trip abroad, revealing how a promised airport pickup and accommodation never materialised, leaving him to fend for himself in unfamiliar territory.
Speaking on Onua Show Time on April 14, 2026, the artiste linked that experience to his latest release, explaining that his new track, “Traveller,” draws from the harsh realities many migrants and travellers encounter outside their home countries.
“I have a new song out there and the title is ‘Traveller’. It is basically talking about how travellers suffer abroad,” he said.
Fameye said the inspiration behind the song came from personal hardship during his early days of international travel, when a friend assured him of support upon arrival.
“The first time I was travelling, a friend told me he would pick me up at the airport and accommodate me. He said his house was nice and he had a lot of rooms,” he explained.
According to him, that assurance quickly fell apart once he landed.
“When I got there, he didn’t answer my calls. I called him severally but he never answered,” he stated.
With nowhere to go and no contact to rely on, Fameye said he ended up spending the night at a train station in France, an experience that left him deeply homesick.
“I was stranded, so I had to sleep at the train station in France. That moment made me miss Ghana,” he noted.
Beyond the travel ordeal, the musician added that “Traveller” also carries a deeply personal layer dedicated to the mother of his children, reflecting on her strength during his absence.
“This song is also special to the woman who gave me two children. I understood what she went through when I wasn’t around. She had always been there for our children and me,” Fameye further stated.
