Ghanaian musician, Akwaboah Jnr. has humorously dismissed concerns about his health following comments on his wedding post, where observers suggested he needed medical attention based on his appearance. Some commenters, including acclaimed doctors, recommended that the musician undergo a kidney checkup.
Akwaboah tied the knot with his 28-year-old partner, Theresa, in a private ceremony in May. Videos from the event garnered attention and comments, with some viewers suggesting he looked unwell.
Addressing these concerns during an interview on The Delay Show, Akwaboah humorously remarked, “I’ll check my oesophagus instead.”
“For all the times I’ve been posting pictures and videos, nobody noticed I was unwell until my wedding? Let’s be honest with ourselves. Growth comes with its challenges. I have children, a mother, siblings, and responsibilities. Life throws obstacles that we must overcome,” he elaborated.
The musician firmly stated that he was in good health, stressing, “I’m fine.”
Additionally, Akwaboah addressed the criticism and mockery following his wedding, particularly about wiping his lips after kissing his bride. He clarified that this gesture was not because he didn’t enjoy the kiss but to avoid having lipstick smeared on his face.
“Nobody marries their enemies. That’s the choice I made, I’m happy about it,” he said.
He further explained, “I have performed at many wedding ceremonies. I have noticed that after the bride and groom kiss, the groom would have lipstick all over his lips. So, I didn’t clean because of what people were saying out there; I cleaned because I knew her lipstick would be all over my lips. So, for my face not to look awkward, I had to clean it.”
