Hiplife musician Okomfour Kwadee, who has battled mental illness for some years now has made a public return, appearing stable and composed in a recent interview.
In an interview with Kumawood Actor Kwaku Manu in a conversation shared on social media, Kwadee cautioned Ghanaian youth against the use of opioids, particularly a highly addictive pill known as ‘Red’ or ‘225.’
He stressed that the substance offers no benefit and could be fatal. The musician revealed that he had experimented with various stimulants in the past, which took a toll on his health.
“I will admonish the youth to engage in activities that would benefit them. Doctors have spoken against the intake of Red because if you take it, you can die from it.
“We have been in the system for some time now, and there is nothing that I haven’t done. There is no strength greater than the one you have. The Red, tramadol, and other stimulants are of no benefit.”
Kwadee also urged fellow musicians to refrain from using marijuana and other harmful substances, warning that blind imitation of foreign trends is damaging the creative industry.
