Videos circulating online showed emotional crowd reactions, singalongs and a venue fully immersed in the moment.
The unexpected appearances added a layer of excitement that many attendees described as one of the highlights of the night.
A Landmark UK Moment for Kweku Smoke

Hosted at Electric Brixton, a venue known for welcoming major international acts, the event drew strong support from the Ghanaian diaspora and music lovers across London.
Industry observers say the successful turnout reflects the growing global appetite for Ghanaian hip-hop and Afrobeats-inspired sounds.
