Some people have criticized the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) for not helping hiplife musician Kwadee during his tough times. Abena Ruthy, the 2nd Vice President of MUSIGA, explained that Kwadee is not a member of the union.

However, she mentioned that MUSIGA has supported Kwadee before and plans to help him again out of kindness.

"There was news about Kwadee recently. He is not even a member now. But our President was on us to link him up to Kwadee. So that is the kind of thing we are doing. We are a family," she said in an interview with Kwame Dadzie on Joy FM's Showbiz A-Z.

Abena further said that MUSIGA is a welfare group that is dedicated to improving the living conditions of its members.

She therefore urged MUSIGA members to contribute to their welfare and insurance policies.

According to her, there is a misconception that every artiste automatically belongs to MUSIGA.

"There is a narrative out there that so far as someone sings, everybody thinks that you are part of us. So we have members in good standing. So as it stands he is not a member in good standing.

In 2018, the Musicians Union of Ghana, led by Ras Caleb Appiah, visited Kwadee at the Willing Ways Foundation rehab centre in Kumasi and gave him some donations.

Currently, there are reports that Kwadee's mental health has worsened again.
