The comedian said that TikTok granted him his account back on Wednesday night (December 17th, 2025) after several days of emotional turmoil that left him exhausted and his fans eager for updates through multiple social media channels.
Asafo Powers' return to TikTok excited many fans, and they were eager to see what kind of content he would produce and how he would respond to the unexpected development.

Many of the videos of him celebrating show him dancing, laughing and interacting with fans as they all shared in the joy of seeing the comedian finally having a normal level of success.
But it would all come crashing down.
Only a few short hours after his account was restored, Asafo Powers received yet another message from TikTok informing him that his account had once again been permanently banned.
The confusing, upsetting nature of receiving yet another message was not only sad to the comedian but also created a great deal of confusion and frustration among his fans as well.
The comedian, famous among Ghanaian market women and average citizens, hasn't made any public comments after his account was banned again shortly after it was briefly restored.
Social media reacted to the second ban
Although fans have shown mixed reactions to what happened, Asafo Powers hasn’t released a formal statement to explain the second ban or his plans.
TikTok hasn't made any statement about why the account was brought back and then taken down again so quickly.
This situation of Asafo Powers shows the insecurity many content creators have on social media, especially when they deal with sudden account bans and reversals.
