He said he was also motivated to leave Ghana to look for money abroad because all the women he wanted looked down on him due to his loss of fame and money.

"I chose to travel because of my stressful relationship as my fame dropped. Ladies look down on me because I no longer had money," he said.

Phresh Adam, known in private circle as Harrison Raphael Bukari, said he frequented the UK for some time before deciding to move permanently to secure his future.

Despite the blip in his career, Phresh Adam said he would never stop making music and promised to bounce back stronger in the coming years.

"Even though I'm a cleaner now, I'm focusing more on my music, and that is what is driving me," he said.
