Kofi Kinaata gets emotional and halts performance
Kofi Kinaata was among a list of high-profile Ghanaian musicians, including the BHIM Nation leader Stonebwoy, who graced the stage at the 115th birthday celebration event of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah at Nkroful in the Western Region on Sunday, September 22, 2024.
Hours before his performance at the event, the musician and some of his team members were involved in a severe accident at Aboadze near Takoradi in the Western Region, which hospitalised some other victims and left their car damaged.
Kofi Kinaata, who later gave an update on his condition, mounted the stage at the event in Nkroful to perform in honour of Ghana's founding father.
The Effiekuma Broken Heart hitmaker got emotional during his music performance and stopped.
He shared that he and his team members left their accident unscathed, but some other victims, who were on a motorcycle, were in critical condition and needed prayers and support.
Kofi Kinaata said he felt it was disrespectful for him to continue the performance and have fun with his fans at the event while the victims battled for their lives in the hospital, before exiting the stage.
