Barosky's caretaker details homeless situation in Manchester

Speaking in the interview, Naa confirmed that she brought Barosky to Manchester from London after he expressed willingness to work there.

The veteran musician's caretaker noted that she helped him secure accommodation through her brother, but issues arose afterwards.

Naa stated that her brother reported Barosky to her over some work-related issues while he was staying with him for over a month.

She said:

"I found him a place. One of my brothers, George in Bolton, gave him a single room self-contained, but there were issues here and there."

He stayed there for over a month until George called me to complain that Barosky would leave his shop unattended whenever he went out and that he was going to cause issues for him because the shop would be open at dawn."

Barosky's caretaker noted that she later brought the Okyerewaa Ba hitmaker back to her base in Manchester and secured him another accommodation, where he caused issues, including an entanglement with the police.

Naa claimed that the musician was moved to different places to live with other people, but it appeared that he had developed mental health problems and was problematic wherever he went.

She noted that she and others planned to help Barosky, popularly known for his past collaborations with Ofori Amponsah, Kofi Nti and others secure a return to Ghana, but he never showed readiness to do so and was not interested in staying with others in the UK.

The caretaker stated that she later brought him back to her home and offered him support, but he was found smoking at times and that his current plight had raised concerns among foreigners and law enforcement.

Naa noted that Barosky, whom she claims has been battling mental health issues and using illicit substances, needed urgent medical attention despite rejecting medical care.

The interview has racked up significant engagement, with viewers divided not only over what happened to Barosky but also over what the right next steps should be.
