The Kumasi-based broadcaster, whose real name is Rexford Kwadwo Adu Ntim, was suspended by Kessben Media in late July 2026 after a private video involving him began circulating online.

He later explained that the footage dated back four years to his time at Silver FM and had been leaked accidentally by his young nephew, before being used against him in an alleged blackmail attempt that he reported to the police.

Following his reinstatement, DJ KA shared a TikTok video of himself excitedly performing along to every line of Kofi Kinaata's 2018 single "M*lafak*."

The song is widely known for its theme of standing firm against gossip, betrayal, and hostility from detractors, rather than letting criticism derail one's path.

Given the timing, coming right after weeks of intense public scrutiny, fans quickly interpreted the song choice as a deliberate, symbolic message from the presenter.

Beneath the video, DJ KA also clapped back directly at a critical commenter, telling the person off for creating a "fake account" and wasting their data over him, dismissing them with a sharp Twi insult in the process.

The TikTok video of DJ KA performing the song, which has since drawn attention for its timing relative to his recent ordeal, is below.
