Ghanaian rapper Kunta Kinte has finally addressed long-standing rumours surrounding his stroke, which have linked his condition to alleged womanising and claims that he snatched another man’s wife, describing the allegations as false, hurtful and deeply unfair.
Speaking in an interview on Angel FM in Kumasi, the Bradez fame rapper dismissed suggestions that his illness was a form of punishment for immoral behaviour, insisting that the narratives being circulated about his personal life are untrue.
“The gossip was that I took someone’s wife and that was why I went into that condition, but all that was not true,” he said firmly.
Kunta Kinte clarified that while he was popular and admired, he never engaged in the conduct he was accused of.
“The ladies liked me because I was multi-talented, I could sing, dance, play football and rap,” he explained. “But I never took anyone’s woman. I had only one girlfriend.”
The rapper expressed concern over how quickly illness is often moralised in public discourse, especially when it involves public figures.
He stressed that his stroke occurred suddenly during a casual basketball game and had nothing to do with rumours surrounding his personal life.
