Ghanaian highlife and soul singer Akwaaboah has sparked a wave of reactions online after a video of him lamenting about the lack of support from people he considers friends went viral on social media. The heartfelt clip, which has been widely shared and discussed, captures the musician expressing his frustration with individuals he believes have failed to stand by him during his career journey.
In the video sighted by NKONKONSA.com, Akwaaboah, known for hits like I Do Love You and Obiaa, passionately addresses the issue of unsupportive friends. “If you call your friend yourself a friend if you call yourself a friend, we are doing stuff you will support. If you don’t support, we don’t call,” he says, visibly emotional.
He goes on to emphasize the importance of mutual support in friendships, urging people to be honest about their intentions. “When they are looking for your help, they say, ‘If you have a friend and they don’t support you, they are not your friend.’ And don’t be shy. Be bold enough to let them know you are not my friend,” he adds.
Akwaaboah also highlights the frustration of being ignored when reaching out for assistance. “When they call you, you don’t pick up. When they need your help, you also close your eyes because friends support friends. Thank you,” he concludes, leaving viewers with a powerful message about loyalty and reciprocity.
The video has resonated with many Ghanaians and fans across social media, sparking debates about the nature of friendships, especially in the entertainment industry. While some have praised Akwaaboah for speaking out, others have speculated about the specific incidents or individuals that may have prompted his emotional outburst.
Akwaaboah, who has carved a niche for himself as one of Ghana’s most talented vocalists and songwriters, has often been celebrated for his soulful music and collaborations with top artists. However, this candid moment offers a rare glimpse into the personal challenges he faces behind the scenes.
