Dressed entirely in white, Israhim was strapped to a stretcher like an injured patient. Surrounded by men clad in military-style gear and medical uniforms, he was gently carried from the ambulance towards the stage, leaving fans to wonder what might unfold next.
As he was unfastened from the stretcher, Israhim slowly rose to perform a soulful rendition of one of his popular songs. The crowd erupted into cheers, singing along passionately in what became an emotional and unforgettable moment.
The dramatic entry seemed symbolic and theatrical — perhaps a reflection of rebirth or resilience
The bold move has stirred mixed reactions on social media, with some praising Israhim’s showmanship while others questioned the necessity of such theatrics. Nevertheless, fans familiar with Northern Ghana’s music scene noted that such dramatic performances are part of a broader tradition of artistic flair and grandeur.
On 26 October 2024, Tamale-based superstar Fancy Gadam made similar headlines during his Gadam Nation Concert at the Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra. He amazed audiences by descending over the stage while suspended in mid-air, thrilling over 4,000 fans in a stunt that was both daring and unforgettable.
Ghanaians online remain divided over Israhim’s entrance. While some found it “too extra”, others applauded the young artiste for pushing creative boundaries in live performance.
