Popular Ghanaian TikTok comedian and content creator, Kelvin Sampane Addo, popularly known as Akonoba, has embarked on an exciting new journey abroad for a fresh start.

The social media star, famed for his cross-dressing and hilarious skits, shared videos of his relocation journey with his online community.

Akonoba looked overwhelmed with joy as he shared his walk through Kotoka International Airport (KIA) with his luggage, accompanied by his family and friends.

It's unclear which country Akonoba was headed to, but he looked happy and hopeful about a new beginning outside the shores of Ghana.

In the caption of a video shared on his TikTok page, Akonoba thanked his father for supporting his dreams and content creation career.

"Daddy and son vibes. Thanks so much for understanding my work now, Daddy. I do appreciate the love and support for me now. Love you so much," he wrote.

The Ghanaian TikTok star was seen exchanging goodbyes with his father, siblings, and a few friends.

Akonoba takes a break from social media

Akonoba recently announced to his followers that he was taking a break from social media following the death of his 17-year-old brother.

The teenager's funeral was held on August 10, 2024, in the social media star's hometown of Bekwai, in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.

Since the funeral, Akonoba has been on and off social media, starving his followers of his rib-cracking content.

Akonoba refutes gay allegations

Aside from this, Akonoba has come under intense public scrutiny due to his feminine traits.

Because of his feminine traits, many allegations were levelled against him, claiming he was romantically involved with his fellow men.

However, the young man denied the allegations while admitting in an interview on the Delay Show that he had always felt a bit feminine.

"While growing up, I felt a little bit girlish. But I cannot kill myself over this. I am not entirely feminine, but I do have a slight feminine side. That is how I was born, and I cannot do anything about it. I am not gay; I am very straight. No male has ever approached me," he reportedly said.
