Camidoh is a Ghanaian Afrobeats star
Ghanaian Afrobeats star, Camidoh, has opened up about how he battled with depression and anxiety at a point in his music career.
Speaking on United Showbiz on July 26, 2025, Camidoh described some turbulences he went through, including a fallout with collaborators in Ghana over rumors he didn’t even understand and a loss of communication with external teams.
“It was due to rumors about me that they had heard. For me, I don’t even know what I had done, but people took offence and spread rumors about me.
“And even the external team I was working with, I stopped getting feedback after a while. We could write them emails, but no response,” he said.
He added that the stress plunged him into depression and poor health.
“So, all that stress got me sick, and I went through depression,” he said.
The turning point came when he met an elderly woman who, after exchanging contacts, began sending him motivational texts and voice notes.
“One day, she sent me a voice note which touched me deeply. She told me how it seemed like nothing was working out for me But I shouldn’t give up,” he added.
He added that he was so touched that he sampled her message in a track on his upcoming album, even quoting her words in the album’s cover artwork.
Camidoh said he personally invited her to his artwork unveiling party, but tragically, she passed away two days before the event.
“I was devastated. Because she was my source of inspiration during the days I was going through anxiety and depression,” he shared.
Despite the loss, he says he continues to carry her messages in his heart and in his works.
