The long-standing Kantanka family dispute has taken a dramatic new twist after celebrated Ghanaian fashion icon, Osebo the Zaraman, boldly spoke out about the ongoing feud within the influential family of the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka.
According to a report by YEN on Monday, October 13, 2025, Osebo—who describes himself as a “godson” of the late Apostle—used a live TikTok session to shed light on what he claims to be the truth behind the internal tensions dividing the Kantanka household. His revelations have stirred a new wave of debate across Ghana’s social media space.
In his emotionally charged statement, Osebo clarified that the family’s decision to exclude Kwadwo Safo Akofena Jr. from leadership roles in both the family and the Kantanka church was not influenced by jealousy or rivalry, as many have assumed. Instead, he stated that the move was based on “conduct and behavior that went against the vision and teachings of the late Apostle.”
According to Osebo, the late inventor and spiritual leader, Apostle Safo Kantanka, had clearly designated his daughter, Hon. Adwoa Safo, as the rightful successor to lead the family and continue his mission. He emphasized that this decision was not a matter of favoritism but rather a reflection of the Apostle’s confidence in her leadership abilities and moral character.
“The late Apostle specifically appointed Adwoa Safo to take charge of the family and the church. That was his will and his vision,” Osebo declared during the live broadcast. He went on to urge Kwadwo Safo Jr. to cease spreading misinformation and to respect the wishes of the family elders. “We cannot allow lies to destroy the legacy of a man who built something extraordinary for Ghana and Africa,” he added.
Osebo’s remarks have sparked mixed reactions online. Many Ghanaians have expressed support for his courage in speaking out, arguing that his explanation helps clear up years of public confusion about the Kantanka leadership issue. Others, however, believe Osebo has overstepped his boundaries, questioning why a fashion designer should interfere in matters concerning the Kantanka dynasty’s internal affairs.
The renewed feud comes amid rising public interest in the future of the Kantanka empire, following the death of its founder. Apostle Safo was not only a revered pastor but also a visionary inventor credited with advancing Ghana’s technology and automobile industry. His passing left many wondering who would carry on his legacy—a question that continues to divide opinions today.
With Osebo’s latest revelations, the conversation surrounding the Kantanka family has intensified, drawing attention from local media and sparking heated debates across social platforms. Some observers believe Osebo’s intervention might help clarify misunderstandings and bring closure to the succession controversy. Others fear it may deepen divisions and prolong the public spectacle.
Regardless of the differing opinions, one thing remains clear—the Kantanka legacy continues to captivate Ghanaians, both for its groundbreaking innovations and for the human drama unfolding behind the scenes. As tensions persist, the public watches closely to see whether peace will return to one of Ghana’s most remarkable families.
