\"Ghanaian <\/a>Ghanaian rapper Agbeko is a Ghanaian rapper<\/p>\n

Ghanaian rapper Agbeko has opened up about the dark period of his life when drug addiction forced him to live on the streets and struggle with severe memory loss.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM on October 28, 2025, Agbeko recounted how his dependence on drugs caused him to lose everything he had worked for, including his home, savings, and social connections.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was doing drugs. I couldn\u2019t get myself a place anymore; I had no means to. I lost everything that was holding me up, so I found myself on the street,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He admitted that despite earning some money from his music, the income was not enough to sustain him, as most of it went into survival and studio expenses.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would be lying if I said I didn\u2019t get money from music. Though at that time, it wasn\u2019t paying much, but the few shows I played, whatever amount of money I get, I divided it into parts. I was living alone, so I paid the bills.<\/p>\n

‘Unkempt looking’ Agbeko spotted begging Andy Dosty for money<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the money went into bills, some went into music, which was studio bookings and cutting promo CDs, and the other went into feeding. That\u2019s how I managed the little I made from music,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

To support himself further, the \u2018Wototome\u2019 hitmaker stated that he ventured into small-scale trading.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was into indoor boutique where I sold clothes, and I sometimes carried the things around for people to buy,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n

Agbeko also disclosed that during this difficult time, he began experiencing serious memory loss, which affected his relationships and how people perceived him.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlong the line, too, I realised I had an issue with memory loss. It\u2019s serious, so I feel like I need medical attention too. I started forgetting people I knew.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen people who support me see me on the street and I don\u2019t return their energies, they think I was being arrogant, but they don\u2019t know what I\u2019m going through, so I don\u2019t blame anyone,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Agbeko made headlines again recently when photos of him living on the streets popped up, drawing a lot of comments from people who knew how vibrant he was when he was actively in music.<\/p>\n
