Kwame Despite expresses displeasure over false claims
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported on Osei Kwame Despite breaking his silence after being dragged into claims that he is involved in occult practices.
The rumours came in the wake of controversies surrounding the late music legend Daddy Lumba and disputes between his two legal wives.
Because of his close ties with the late musician, some people took the opportunity to spread false stories about him.
Known for being quiet and reserved, Despite said he had had enough and decided to speak out.
In a rare audio clip, he addressed the accusations directly.
“Sometimes what I hear about me on social media just leaves me in disbelief,” he said. “I even ask myself, is this really the same person they are talking about?”
He then highlighted his business accomplishments, pointing to his vast salt factory, which spans about 700 acres. Over 600 people work there daily, harvesting salt from the sea.
“So when I earn money, what’s news about it? What’s wrong if I buy a car or take care of myself?” he asked.
