Popular hiplife singer Jehoshaphat Kwabena Eshun, known professionally as Screwfaze, has recently opened up about his struggles with financial instability, which forced him to live in a single room despite his status.
In a live TikTok video, the “Gbalagazaa” hitmaker disclosed how some ill-fated decisions in his prime led to his loss of wealth.
“I lost everything; I was living in a single room. I know some people will say why didn’t I save; yes, I saved, but there is a way life will hit you, and no matter who you are, you can lose everything,” Screwfaze, who currently resides abroad, said.
Screwfaze confessed that his depression was compounded by his family’s rejection, including his wife’s decision to keep him away from their kids.
“My family members abandoned me; I was depressed, and even my wife didn’t want anything to do with me, she even prevented me from my children because I made some wrong decisions and refused to listen to advice,” he added.
With a prolific career spanning hundreds of songs, Scewfaze has had the privilege of collaborating with over two dozen Ghanaian musicians, including esteemed artists like Castro, Shiloh, Mz Bell, and KK Fosu.
