In a heart-wrenching revelation on UTV’s “United Showbiz” aired on February 8, 2025, the mother of acclaimed Ghanaian musician Jerry Anaba, better known as Okomfo Kwadee, disclosed she has no current knowledge of her son’s whereabouts. The announcement came during an interview with host Empress Gifty, following the emergence of a video that captured Kwadee in a visibly compromised condition.
The video in question, which circulated earlier in the week, has sparked widespread concern among fans and fellow artists alike about the health and safety of the once-celebrated musician. Kwadee’s mother, in a candid conversation on the show, admitted that despite living in the same city of Kumasi, she could not find him at his last known residence.
When Empress Gifty pressed further, asking how a mother could lose touch with her child, she explained the logistical challenges of separate living arrangements and the apparent disappearance of Kwadee’s phone, which has hindered direct communication.
Concerned for his welfare, Empress Gifty sought to provide a way for the public to assist. Kwadee’s mother suggested that anyone with information or those wishing to help should contact Ohemaa Woyeje, the mid-morning show host at Angel FM in Kumasi.
The situation has led to an outpouring of reactions on social media, with many questioning the privacy and ethics of sharing such vulnerable footage of Kwadee. There’s a palpable sense of urgency among fans and the wider community to rally support for the musician, who has openly dealt with mental health issues and substance abuse in the past.
This latest development underscores the ongoing struggles that Kwadee has faced, despite previous attempts by his family and supporters to aid his recovery. The public’s response has been one of empathy, with numerous calls for collective action to ensure Kwadee receives the help he needs.
