The movie actor, known for his appearance in the iconic 2000s Tigo advert, shared a bold Instagram post on Thursday, September 10, 2026, announcing his presence with the caption:
"I am what I am!"
The post, relaxed photos taken inside and outside of an unregistered sleek black Hyundai Sonata on an empty road in Ghana, showed Quansah looking sharp in a graphic tee, exuding confidence as he stared into the camera.
For many fans who had not seen him in years, it was a striking reappearance from someone who was once a recognisable face in Ghanaian entertainment.
Ruffy also showed off his transformation, as he looked slimmer and in great physical shape than he used to be when he was active in the Ghanaian film industry many years ago.
