Akwaboah is a Ghanaian singer
Ghanaian singer Akwaboah has clapped back at critics after being dragged online for an “odd” picture he recently shared.
On August 22, 2025, Akwaboah posted a picture of himself on social media, looking bizarre in a loose fitted outfit.
The singer, who has already been a topic of discussion due to his rapid weight loss and ‘sickly’ appearance, which has raised major concern, posed for the camera in a way that appeared to deliberately further fuel the speculation.

As expected, netizens did not hold back. Many online users have been circulating the post and leaving a barrage of negative comments.
Initially, Akwaboah responded by saying he intentionally uploaded the picture to attract attention ahead of promoting his upcoming project.
However, as the backlash intensified, Akwaboah addressed the criticism more directly in a video sighted by GhanaWeb on August 23, 2025.
“Look at how I am trending, you people love negativity too much. You guys refused to talk about the positive ones, but look at how you spread this particular picture. You guys are witches,” he said.
Regarding his deliberate decision to post the picture online to draw attention to his yet-to-be-released single titled “Obinim,” Akwaboah stated.

“Ghanaians should wake up, my Obinim song will be released soon. I felt like it’s been a while since I heard from Ghanaians, so I decided to share an odd picture of myself and afterwards see the way I am trending.”
