Media personality and entertainment pundit, MC Yaa Yeboah, has shared her thoughts on issues pertaining to the current health condition of Ghanaian highlife musician, Okomfour Kwadee.
In a discussion on United Showbiz on February 8, 2025, MC Yaa Yeboah explained that the musician is not open to receiving help, despite efforts from his fans and industry players to support his recovery.
She stated that Okomfour Kwadee is content with his current mental state, adding that even if he were taken to a rehabilitation center, the efforts might be in vain.
“Last year, a video resurfaced online about Kwadee, which we discussed here. It’s truly sad to see someone who has contributed so much to the music industry go through such a crisis. However, when the news broke last year, I made some calls and discovered that he isn’t helping himself. To rehabilitate someone, the person needs the will to say, ‘I don’t want to continue like this. This is not the first time we’ve heard about his condition,” she stated.
She continued, “We can’t blame everything on witches. If you let yourself go, that’s when external forces can affect you. If you watch the video carefully, you can see he’s singing every word of his songs, which shows that he’s still mentally sound. From where I sit, he’s content with his current situation. There was a time when he was taken off the streets and a concert was organized for him, but later, he told journalists that weed wasn’t his problem, and that he would continue smoking. So, I know he doesn’t see the issues we’re concerned about.”
MC Yaa Yeboah also addressed the narrative circulating on social media, claiming that industry players have abandoned the musician in his current state.
“I’ve seen many comments on social media calling for industry figures to help him. Do you know how many interventions have been made for Kwadee? Many people have sacrificed their time and money to ensure he’s in better condition. But if you don’t have the willpower to change, even divine intervention won’t help,” she added.
Kwadee, known for his groundbreaking contributions to Ghanaian music, has been a subject of concern after his mental condition escalated in recent years.
Recent videos circulating on social media captured him in a distressed state, performing bare-chested on the streets, appearing frail and unkempt.
