Paa George fires back at death rumours
On Wednesday, March 4, the Kumawood actor recorded a longer video to clap back at the claims that he had passed away.
Speaking in a fiery tone, he said he was not dead and that he had many more years to live despite being 88 years old already.
Paa George said he had a covenant with God that he would live up to 96 years, and nobody would be able to change that about his life.
“It’s me, Paa George, that you people keep claiming is dead. I am not dead. I have a covenant with God that I would get to the age of 96 before I die. I would be 89 on May 1, so it means I have seven years to live,” he fumed.
The actor added that whoever wished death on him would face it first before he would eventually join them when he turns 96, as God promised him.
“If you claim online that I am dead, death would come and meet you first. Then, when my time is up, I would join you in the spirit world," he fumed.
