    Okomfour Kwadee’s current health situation is beyond normal, its a “family matter” – Quick Action

    Music producer Joseph Appiah, known as Quick Action, has referred to the troubling health situation of popular musician Okomfour Kwadee as a “family matter.”

    A recent video showing Kwadee looking emaciated and unkempt while performing has sparked serious concern among fans and industry stakeholders about his mental health and financial condition. Kwadee has had multiple stints in rehab over the years.

    Quick Action, speaking on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z, revealed that he last heard from Kwadee in November 2023 when the artist mentioned attending a family reunion. Upon seeing the video, Quick Action expressed his inability to comment further due to the family’s involvement. Despite attempts to reach out, Kwadee’s phone number was unresponsive.

    “No matter how much you love someone, you can never take medicine for them,” Quick Action said, reflecting on the limitations of helping someone in need.

    Quick Action also shared his past experiences of assisting Kwadee, which sometimes led to public criticism and accusations of exploitation. He recounted an incident where he was accused of using Kwadee’s earnings for a trip to London, despite Kwadee having received the payment himself.

    Others, including Abraham Ohene Djan, Ogunskele of 2Toff Fame, Hammer Nti of Pure FM, and Evangelist Lord Kenya, have also faced difficulties in their efforts to help Kwadee, often hindered by his mother’s resistance to outside intervention.

    Quick Action remains hopeful, saying, “We pray for him, myself and my wife, we always pray for him and we know we are going to see some positive results.”

    Kwadee is celebrated for his distinctive rap and storytelling style, with hits like ‘Abrantie’, ‘Ofie Nipa’, ‘Meko M’anim’, and ‘Yeko Mmaa Pe’.

  • Stakeholders in the entertainment industry need to join forces in supporting Okomfour Kwadee – Amanda Jissih

    Stakeholders in the entertainment industry need to join forces in supporting Okomfour Kwadee – Amanda Jissih

    Ghanaian television host Amanda Jissih has urged stakeholders in the entertainment industry to unite and support artists facing personal struggles.

    Speaking on the United Showbiz show on May 18, 2024, Jissih highlighted the plight of musician Okomfour Kwadee, emphasizing that many entertainers face challenges beyond substance abuse, often overlooked by families and the public.

    Jissih noted that organizations like GHAMRO and MUSIGA are overwhelmed and cannot address all cases promptly. She stressed the need for personal connections and financial contributions from individuals within the industry to help artists like Okomfour Kwadee get back on their feet.

    “A lot of people are struggling in this industry. If you take a phone and call some people, you will realize many artistes are going through a lot, but their families are watching them.

    “You may think they are okay or are out of the country. But they are here with us, going through things.

    “If we are waiting for organizations like GHAMRO or MUSIGA, etc., we will be waiting for a long time. Not because they don’t want to, but because there are a lot of people in similar conditions who need help,” she said.

    Jissih acknowledged that supporting these artists involves significant expenses, such as securing accommodation and a caretaker, but she remained hopeful that a collective effort could find a solution.

    “We, the stakeholders in the entertainment industry, have to join forces in supporting Okomfour Kwadee. We hope that people who know him personally and have money to donate will do so.

    “It would be difficult, but we can’t wait for these bodies or institutions. If we are to seek help for him, we have to get him accommodation and a caretaker; all this would require extra costs.

    “It’s a big package. But there has to be a way,” she said on the show hosted by MzGee.
    Her comments came in response to viral videos showing Okomfour Kwadee in a deteriorated state, prompting public calls for help and speculations about the nature of his troubles.

    Jissih’s appeal underscores the broader issue of mental health and support within the entertainment industry, calling for immediate and collective action to aid those in need.

    Okomfour Kwadee’s issues is spiritual not drug related – Ohemaa Woyeje

    Radio DJ and reggae artist Ohemaa Woyeje has asserted that Ghanaian musician Okomfour Kwadee‘s struggles are primarily spiritual rather than drug-related.

    In a recent United Showbiz interview, she challenged the widespread belief that Kwadee’s condition stems from substance abuse, suggesting instead that deeper, spiritual issues are at play.

    Ohemaa Woyeje emphasized that Kwadee, who began smoking at age 12, would have shown signs of addiction much earlier if drugs were the primary cause.

    She revealed that despite efforts from herself, Hammer, and other industry figures to help him, they were unable to resolve his issues, which she believes are spiritual in nature.

    “Okomfour Kwadee’s issue is not drug related but spiritual. There is more to it than meets the eye. I together with Hammar and other industry personnels came to his aid sometime ago but we couldn’t resolve his issue. The issue we have noted is spiritual, there is more to it I can’t disclose here.”

    VIDEO: Okomfour Kwadee’s current state draws netizens into shock

    Ghanaian musician Jerry Anaabaa, better known as ‘Okomfour Kwadee,’ has captured public attention once again, but this time in a touching and concerning light.

    A circulating video depicting the former vibrant artist now performing on the streets of Ghana‘s Northern region has stirred a wave of sorrow and worry among Ghanaians.

    Once celebrated for his talent and charm, Kwadee’s current state of disarray and poverty starkly contrasts with his past image.

    The footage, widely shared on social media, showcases Kwadee delivering his signature verses to an audience, retaining his voice and expressions but revealing a troubling physical and psychological condition.

    Formerly commanding respect and admiration, Kwadee now appears to be in a vulnerable situation, navigating the streets without evident support or care.

    This latest glimpse into his struggles follows a previous video from September 2023, where he was seen in an unfinished building, spontaneously rapping during a TikTok live session, sparking public concern for his well-being.

    For many Ghanaians, including fellow celebrities, who once cherished Okomfour Kwadee’s music and celebrated his artistry, witnessing his current hardships is profoundly disheartening.

    Background

    Persistent reports have surfaced about Kwadee’s struggles with mental health issues and subsequent setbacks.

    Following his discharge from a rehabilitation facility in 2021, he was spotted cruising in town, in the company of a woman presumed to be his partner.

    Subsequently, Kwadee made a brief appearance in the media circuit.

    In a concerning update in 2022, his mother disclosed that her son had been left at a rehabilitation center.

  • Okomfour Kwadee addresses mental illness claims

    Okomfour Kwadee addresses mental illness claims

    Veteran hip-life artiste, Jerry Anaabaa, popularly known as Okomfour Kwadee, has addressed the concerns about his mental health. While he acknowledges his recent unusual behavior and public statements, he asserts that it is not a sufficient reason for people to conclude that he is dealing with mental illness.

    In recent times, there have been reports and speculations about Okomfour Kwadee’s battle with mental health issues and relapses. In 2021, he was reported to have been released from a rehabilitation center and seen in public. He also expressed plans to release new music after a hiatus from the music scene.

    However, in a recent development, he was observed in an uncompleted building, looking unwell and displaying unusual behavior. Okomfour Kwadee’s statement suggests that he is not in agreement with the perception of mental illness, despite his recent actions and appearances. It’s essential to approach such matters with sensitivity and understanding, and if there are concerns about his well-being, they should be addressed by qualified healthcare professionals.

    However, touching on these successive developments, Kwadee, in an interview with Express GHTV said,

    “When people say I’m mad I take it as fanfare because it could reflect in your rap meanwhile, I say something sensible. So, I take it as we are mocking ourselves that someone is not happy with something I had done.
    For the ‘madness’ let’s take it as someone said it but that’s not true. The way I presented myself and what I say as an act is what people didn’t understand and they think that way.”

    Okomfour Kwadee’s concern that rumors about his mental health may be affecting the attention his songs receive is understandable. Such rumors and public perceptions can indeed impact an artist’s career, and it can be frustrating when the focus shifts away from their work to personal issues.

    “For instance, there are songs that are good but they don’t do well. There are some of my songs that are supposed to be hits but because people think I’m mad, they’re not doing well like it used to be,” he established.

    He further advised the general public against making such claims adding, “You don’t need to ask someone whether he’s mad or not, you’ll see it. People need to know the effects of my influence on society when they tag me as a mad person.”
