Hiplife artiste, Okomfuor Kwadee
Ghanaian musician Captain Planet of 4X4 has made an emotional plea to the music industry to take immediate action to support hiplife icon Okomfo Kwadee before it’s too late.
In a tweet posted on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, Captain Planet wrote in a mix of English and Pidgin, “Ghana music industry, make we people do something for Okomfo Kwadee before e go be too late.”
The plea was prompted by a heartbreaking viral video showing Okomfo Kwadee, once celebrated for his energetic performances and timeless hits, currently in a distressing state, singing some of his old songs.
Radio personality Maximous Mensah, better known as Dr. Pounds, also shared the video on Instagram, expressing his concern, “What can we do paaa to help our brother?? Asem oooo so sad! Charely legend! GOD HELP OUR BROTHER,” he wrote.
In the past, well-meaning individuals, including music producer Abraham Ohene Djan and Evangelist Lord Kenya have attempted to secure medical help for Kwadee.
However, reports stated their efforts were met with resistance from his family, making it difficult to provide him with the care he needs.
Born Jerry Anaba, Kwadee rose to fame in the early 2000s with iconic tracks like “Abrantie,” “Ofie Nipa,” “Meko M’anim,” “Yeko Mmaa Pe,” “Ataa Adwoa,” and “Boyz Boyz.”
His unique storytelling ability and distinctive voice made him a household name and a trailblazer in Ghana’s hiplife genre.
However, his flourishing career was tragically cut short by struggles with mental health and alleged drug abuse.
Reports state that these challenges caused his downfall and led him to fade into obscurity, overshadowing his once-bright legacy.
