He recounted: “Someone once wrote that I killed my brother Kofi B for music. All these things, I salute Daddy Lumba because of the things people do to him. He is so tough and has a thick skin. Imagine someone accusing you of killing someone — it’s not easy at all.”

The award-winning singer explained that the unrelenting negativity, insults, and false allegations pushed him to withdraw from social media entirely for the sake of his mental health.
