Moussa Sandiana Kaba known as Grand P, (born October 11, 1990, in Sanguiana, Nabaya, Guinea) is a Guinean musician. Despite facing the challenges of progeria, a condition causing accelerated aging, Grand P has become a prominent figure known for his distinctive appearance. [1] [2]
Grand P spent his formative years in the quaint town of Sanguiana, guided by his parents, commonly referred to as Mr. and Mrs. Kaba. [3]
Grand P's journey to recognition began during a show organized by his idol, Kerfala Kante, at the People's Palace in Conakry. Notably, he supported the Guinean delegation in Cairo during CAN 2019, marking a significant milestone. Collaborating with influential figures in the Guinean music industry, such as Azaya and King Alasko, Grand P has released singles and an album titled "I khadi nanna." His notable singles include "Grand P Barana," "Life," and "Syli." In 2019, he collaborated with Sidiki Diabaté on "Irhafama," and in 2020, Boncena featured him in "Amour Ndoto (Dream)." [4] [5]
Beyond music, Grand P is recognized as a social media influencer and politician. [6]
Grand P's personal life, notably his relationship with Ivorian model Eudoxie Yao, has faced public scrutiny. Engaged since August 2020, their on-and-off relationship has been criticized, with accusations of financial motives. Originally planning to marry in early 2021, the couple decided against proceeding with their wedding. [7]
On December 5, 2023, Grand P and Eudoxie Yao were warmly received at Kotoka International Airport in Ghana. However, on December 8, 2023, Eudoxie Yao accused Grand P of being a womanizer during an interview, emphasizing the authenticity of their relationship. [8] [9]
