Ghanaian media personality Abena Moet has condemned netizens who trolled the late Akwasi Kardashian over his perceived sexuality.
The popular content creator died on October 2024 after battling kidney failure.
During an aftermath discussion on Neat FM on October 28, 2024, Abena Moet addressed the negative comments about his sexuality that emerged during his illness and even after his death.
She firmly rejected the claims that Akwasi Kardashian’s speculated gay status contributed to his health issues.
“Does being gay give you kidney failure? Even virgins suffer from kidney failure. He had other health issues. Being gay does not cause kidney failure. Let’s show some empathy,” she stated.
She highlighted that while Akwasi was often perceived as effeminate, his true sexuality was unknown, as no one was privy to his private life.
“When his video came out asking for help with his kidney failure, you should have seen the comments. People kept discussing his supposed LGBT affiliation and suggesting he appeal to that community,” she noted.
Abena Moet criticised the judgmental attitudes of some individuals, reminding them that no one is superior simply because they are not part of the LGBT community.
“Even after his death, people continued with the same narrative, claiming being gay is wrong and that he’s going to hell. Many of these commenters are so-called Christians. Who are you to judge?” she challenged.
She pointed out the hypocrisy in their judgments: “You who have slept with someone’s spouse, lied, stolen, or even harmed others, just because you’re not gay, you think you’re better? The Bible does not say only gays will go to hell.
“The fact that you sin differently from someone else does not make you superior or exempt from consequences. For all we know, he may have repented and been forgiven before he died.”
