Award-winning Ghanaian rapper Edem has addressed a recent video of him blasting a fan on social media after he begged him for rent money.

The Volta Regime Music Group (VRMG) record label owner drew criticism from some Ghanaians after he had a tense exchange with fans during a recent TikTok Live session.

Edem failed to respond kindly to a fan, who claimed he was struggling with accommodation costs and begged him for GH¢2,000 to pay his rent to avoid being evicted by his landlord.

Edem addresses the viral video

In an interview with media personality and fashion designer Kofi Okyere Darko, aka KOD, Edem said that the fan repeatedly called him stingy in the comment section of his TikTok Live session before begging him for the GH¢2,000 to pay his rent.

The rapper noted that he only dismissed the fan's plea because of his snide remarks and that some mischievous individuals truncated some parts of the viral video to create the impression that he was mean and unkind to his fans.

He said:

"I was on my way home, and there was this particular name that repeatedly kept saying I was stingy. So one fan retorted and asked why he was calling me stingy, and his comeback was, "Edem, give me two thousand to pay my rent". So I told him that if he could not afford to pay rent in Accra, he should go back to his village."
