Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh on Sargent Dee's video
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh shared his thoughts on the public reaction to Sargent Dee's video.
He said:
"It is unfair for Ghanaians to presume that Sargent Dee is struggling since he has not publicly stated so. He might be sharing videos of himself just like any regular netizen or launching a comeback in the film industry."
The TikTok video of Sargent Dee singing is below:
Sargent Dee looks slimmer in public
Sargent Dee's latest public appearance comes weeks after the Cantata actor flaunted a slimmer look while spending some time in reflection.
The clip shared on his TikTok page showed the comic actor sitting beside an unplastered wall.
With a full-grown beard, he listened to Shatta Wale's Grammy-considered Street Crown song and sang along, making facial gestures.
Midway through the video, he put on a black fedora hat and continued singing and gesturing.
While he did not say anything apart from singing, he looked different from how he used to be and seemed to have lost some weight.
