Ghanaian entertainment pundit Kwaku Osei Korankye Asiedu, popularly known as KOKA, has clarified that his hug with gospel singer Ohemaa Mercy at the courthouse was not genuine.
According to KOKA, he only embraced her at his lawyer’s suggestion and did so as a formality, stating, “Our hugs in court were just settings. My lawyer told me to play along, so I did that. It was not from my heart. I did what my lawyer asked me to do, so the picture is fake. It was not me. I was just acting.”
KOKA’s comments follow his recent arrest after Ohemaa Mercy filed a complaint alleging he had made threats against her. He was held in police custody for nearly a week before being granted a GH₵2000 bail by an Accra Circuit Court. The dispute between the two stems from KOKA’s claim that the gospel singer owes him GH₵8500, which he insists she has yet to pay.
In a recent interview, KOKA reiterated that his grievances with Ohemaa Mercy remain unresolved and hinted that he would be addressing the matter in an upcoming book. “Nobody has paid me. There is a book coming out, and it will unveil everything at the right time, but there is a contract and everything. She has not given me a dime,” he stated.
He also urged journalists to ask Ohemaa Mercy to provide evidence if any payments were made to him. Despite the public perception that their issues were settled, KOKA asserts otherwise, maintaining that he has not moved on from the matter.
