The cast of the popular Ghanaian TV series YOLO have joined forces to publicly raise funds for their colleague John Peasah, professionally known as Drogba, amid his ongoing health issues.

In recent years, John Peasah has been battling demyelinating disease, a medical condition that affects the nerves in the brain, eyes, and spinal cord, which can lead to vision loss and immobility, among other effects.

The YOLO TV series star and his sister previously created a GoFundMe to seek $280,000 to cover the cost of his treatments after his condition continued to deteriorate.

The former vice-president of Ghana, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, was among the people who visited the ailing actor at his residence in Accra and donated money to support his treatment.

In 2024, reports of John being healed from his health issue emerged after footage of him receiving spiritual prayers from the former leader of the Christ Embassy Airport City Youth Church (CECY), Pastor Enoch Ofori Boamah, at his Friday Night miracle service surfaced on social media.

However, in a series of interviews in 2025, the young actor denied the rumours and has since launched several appeals to raise funds for his medical treatment on social media.
