A Ghanaian blogger has successfully reached out to veteran rapper Okomfour Kwadee for an interview, during which he made some noteworthy statements that caused quite a stir on the internet.
The interview was prompted by a viral video of the rapper appearing unkempt and performing in a village located in the Upper West Region.
Despite his ongoing mental challenges, the blogger proceeded with the interview, discussing various events and developments within the entertainment industry.
Kwadee asserted that Sarkodie’s current prominence in the mainstream music scene is due to him emulating his style. He claimed that his unique approach resonated with Sarkodie and even contributed to his success in winning a BET award.
“I can say that Sarkodie learnt my style and that is what helped him win BET,” he said.
He continued “I’ve a song with Sarkodie but people will say Sarkodie helped Kwadee but in Kwadee’s mentality, Sarkodie is eating because he learnt from me.
People on social media are negative and they pitch artistes against each other. So if next time I have a big song because they say Sarkodie is helping me, that will prevent me from contacting him which should not be the case,” he said.
Meanwhile, an earlier report by Tru News Report reveals that the family of veteran Hiplife artist Okomfour Kwadee has acknowledged that the rapper is still facing challenges and has not completely overcome his mental health issues.
As per a family representative, Ezekiel Aguyire, they are seeking financial support from the Ghanaian community to cover his medical expenses.
Ezekiel clarified that multiple attempts were made to provide medical care for the musician; however, limited financial resources hindered their ability to access certain medical services.
“He is not feeling well. But now he is a little better. We need the help of Ghanaians for our brother now. He is not supposed to be here but because of the sickness [he had to leave Kumasi],” he said.
Ezekiel made these remarks a few days after a video of Kwadee’s performance at an event went viral on the internet.
Kwadee, known for his clever wordplay and captivating storytelling that resonated with the hiplife culture, now appears to be a mere shadow of his former self.
