The resurfaced footage has reignited conversations about his past, with some social media users revisiting claims that he was once a well-known opera singer before his transformation into the self-proclaimed “King of Kubala.”

According to commentary shared by WithAlvin, Kofi Offeh was previously recognised in Ghana’s music circles as a talented opera performer known as Kofi Nino, celebrated for his strong and soulful vocal ability.

“Once known for his powerful opera performances, Kofi transformed his life’s stage into a throne, proclaiming himself the King of Kubala in a remarkable journey from music to monarchy,” WithAlvin noted.
“So what went wrong or what changed? Could mental health be the culprit here?” WithAlvin added.
