Nana Kofi, widely known as DJ Blackface, is the son of former Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly boss Nana Akwasi Agyemang.
Years ago, he was a familiar face in entertainment circles, especially in Kumasi and Accra.
He moved comfortably around shows and social spaces, working closely with respected names like Obrafour, the late Castro, Ama Boahemaa, and beloved actress and TV host Nana Ama McBrown.
DJ Blackface is seriously ill
Back then, DJ Blackface was seen as someone finding his place in the industry, trusted, confident, and full of life.
However, the images circulating online tell a very different story.
In the videos, DJ Blackface looks frail and visibly unwell.
Check out the TikTok post below:
He appears slim, weak, and malnourished, a sharp contrast to the energetic figure many remember.
For people who knew him or followed his journey, the sight is unsettling.
It is the kind of moment that forces you to pause and remember how unpredictable life can be.
The public became aware of his condition through a TikTok user, Gladys Kumah, who has been updating followers about his situation.

Netizens reacted to DJ Blackface's condition
Reactions online have been emotional.
Some have expressed disbelief, others sadness, and many have called for compassion rather than harsh judgment.
DJ Blackface’s story is no longer about fame or connections. It is about vulnerability, health, and the reality that anyone can fall on hard times.
For many watching, this is more than a viral moment. It is a quiet reminder to care, to help where possible, and to treat such stories with empathy rather than cruelty.

Gospel musician, Frank Baidoo partially blind
Previously, YEN.com.gh reported that Gospel musician Frank Baidoo said he lost his sight after a severe infection that began shortly after he popped a pimple on his face.
He sold all his valuables to pay hospital bills, as doctors later warned he could lose his remaining eye without urgent treatment.
In tears on live television, Baidoo appealed to Nana Ama McBrown and Ghanaians for help to undergo surgery and save his sight.
