In a video that went viral on social media on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, the rapper was seen seeking financial assistance from Andy Dosty on the street amid his struggles.
Rapper Agbeko appeared in poor physical shape and looked unkempt as he begged the renowned media personality for GH₵20 to purchase some items.
Andy Dosty declined to offer the Ototo Me hit-maker money, whose musical career has been derailed due to his use of hard substances.
Instead of money, the Hitz FM presenter offered to purchase food for Agbeko, who initially was hesitant about the generous gesture. He later accepted the offer from the media personality.
The rapper's current situation stirred reactions among many Ghanaians, who expressed concern about his well-being.

Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh speaks on Agbeko's struggles
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh shared his thoughts on Agbeko's struggles and the strategies or interventions that can be put in place to help musicians rehabilitate and revive their careers.
He said:
"Sadly, people in the creative industry usually don't plan for downfalls, especially when they are high up in the chain. Without a financial plan, it is easy to fall into bad situations."
"An initiative that can help musicians like Agbeko is institutions such as MUSIGA educating their members on the effects of hard substances."
What happened to Ghanaian rapper Agbeko?
In the early 2000s, Agbeko was among the prominent faces in the Ghanaian rap scene under the tutelage of veteran music executive Hammer, who featured him on projects for his Last Two Music imprint.
Just like Edem, the rapper's use of the Ewe language in his rap verses made him a unique artiste in the mainstream scene.
This was after Tordia Tsikago quit music and relocated abroad shortly after his beef with Ex Doe ended.

Despite chalking up multiple hit songs, he lost his spot in the industry and went on a hiatus until 2024, when footage of him in a poor state surfaced on social media.
In an interview with media personality Giovani Caleb on 3FM, Agbeko recounted his struggles. He shared that he was living on the streets after losing his home due to his use of hard substances.
The rapper also noted that he had also spent time in prison for a while due to his bad habits. He expressed his interest in restarting his music career and begged for financial support to rehabilitate and return to his dream.
