Following his rise to prominence in the Ghanaian music industry in the middle 2000s, the rapper has had many personal struggles, which have hampered the progress of his once blossoming career.
Over the years, Okomfour Kwadee, who hails from Navrongo in the Upper East Region, has struggled with his mental health on several occasions and has been admitted to many psychiatric hospitals for evaluation after constant battles with hard substance abuse.
In 2022, the rapper's mother said her son had been abandoned at a rehab centre after Lord Kenya took him there in 2020 after a mental breakdown. She added that she had tried all she could to help her 'sick' son get better but to no avail.
Kwadee's mother pleaded with friends, fans and the general public to help her seek proper medical care for him.
In 2024, the rapper was spotted looking lean as he drank Pito, a local beer and delivered a freestyle while hanging out with his friends.
Okomfuor Kwadee also looked unkempt as he wore a men's tank top and paired it with jeans with the ends folded upwards during a performance in front of a large crowd in his hometown.
Despite the efforts of some of his colleagues in the music industry to help him fully recover from his issues including Lord Kenya, the rapper has continued to struggle and eventually disappeared from the limelight.

"Okomfuor Kwadee's story is sad" - Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh
In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, entertainment pundit Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh shared his thoughts on Okomfuor Kwadee's struggles and how the industry can help him and other struggling artistes.
He said:
"Ghanaian creatives need to take financial literacy seriously and get pension schemes. The industry doesn't support much when your time passes so we need to be on the lookout for ourselves. Okofuor Kwadee's story is sad but it affects many veterans and associations like MUSIGA and GHAMRO need to do more for their members in terms of education and additional support."
