Speaking on the issue, she recalled a viral video of Kwadee that resurfaced last year, reigniting concerns about his well-being.

“It’s truly sad to see someone who has contributed so much to the music industry go through such a crisis,” she lamented. “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.”

MC Yaa Yeboah further dismissed the notion that Kwadee’s situation is purely spiritual, insisting that personal responsibility plays a role.

“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.”

She recounted past interventions made on behalf of the musician, including a time when he was taken off the streets and given an opportunity to revive his career. “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,” she added.

Yeboah also responded to social media claims that the music industry has abandoned Kwadee, arguing that many individuals have tried to help him over the years. “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 emphasized.

Her comments have sparked further debate on whether artists and industry players should take responsibility for their well-being or if more structured support systems are needed to help struggling musicians.

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.
