Akonoba firesback at critics

Akonoba rose to internet fame with his impeccable acting skills and unapologetic feminine outfits depicting the dramatic lifestyle of Ghanaian mothers.

Some online users criticised Akonoba for overreacting at his late brother's funeral, as his on-screen roles blurred with his demeanour.

In an attempt to thank colleagues who supported her at the funeral, the TikTok star addressed his critics.

He painfully recounted all the things his late 17-year-old brother, who was only a high school student, would miss out on due to his untimely death.

Akonoba also disappointingly reacted to rumours that he had a hand in the young boy's sad end.
