Kwaku Manu breaks silence on death rumours
In a video he shared on his official TikTok page on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, Kwaku Manu noted that he had received several phone calls from his loved ones who inquired about his well-being after the death rumours emerged online.
The Kumawood actor dismissed the rumours, stating that he had been asleep at the time when the news about his death was circulated.

"I saw many people calling me this morning several times. I am recording this video because of my loved ones. I am begging you. I have seen someone post that I had died at a hospital on the Wassa-Akropong road."
"I was asleep when the person shared the news. It was early in the morning, and I was moving around with my perfumes. Today is Wednesday, the day I was born."

The actor also threatened to take drastic action against the individual for plotting to use false stories about his death to gain traction on social media.
She said:
"The person responsible for spreading the false news should stop it. If you think death is sweet, I will let you taste it. May God and the angel of death let you taste it and see. The fact that you could sit, plan, write my name and location and post them with my picture shows that you don't care about people's well-being."
"You are only interested in getting viewers. If you wanted viewers, why didn't you post the pictures of your mother, sister, or other family members? You wanted to cause fear and panic."
Kwaku Manu further invoked curses on the individual behind the faceless account spreading the death rumours about him on social media.
