KiDi Recalls Pain of False Stroke Rumours After Health Scare

Ghanaian musician KiDi has described the period when false rumours circulated that he had suffered a stroke as “such a terrible time,” saying the claims caused distress among his family, fans and Ghanaians abroad.

The singer, whose real name is Dennis Nana Dwamena, said the speculation began after he announced that he was postponing his North American tour in 2023 because of health concerns.

In an interview, KiDi said he had been travelling for performances, including a trip to Belize, and had struggled with cold weather during his travels. He decided to take a break and focus on his health, but his announcement was followed by unfounded claims that he had suffered a stroke.

KiDi said he was surprised by the reports and did not know how they began. He stressed that, although he had experienced health challenges, the claim that he had suffered a stroke was false.

The rumours spread beyond Ghana, causing concern among fans and members of the Ghanaian community abroad.

The singer said the experience was particularly difficult because he was working to build his career at the time. Even after he denied the reports, he felt that some people continued to view him differently because of what they had heard.

In an earlier interview, KiDi also spoke about the effect on his family, saying his mother received repeated calls from people seeking information about his condition.

KiDi returned to social media in April 2023, thanking his family, friends and fans for their support during his time away. He also publicly dismissed the false reports about his health.

The singer later returned to performing and released music following his break.
