Ghanaian hiplife musician Agbeko has reportedly taken a significant step toward rehabilitation after years of struggling with substance abuse. He has been admitted to Pantang Hospital in the Ga East District of the Greater Accra Region, where he will receive treatment and recovery support. This update was shared by fellow rapper Edem, who revealed that Agbeko contacted him earlier this week, expressing a sincere desire to seek help and rebuild his life.
According to Edem, both he and his Volta Regime Music Group (VRMG) team acted quickly once Agbeko reached out. In a statement, Edem said, “It is with great joy that I inform all well-wishers and family… Agbeko reached out this week and expressed his willingness to get help and get better. My team at VRMG and I arranged for him to be taken to Pantang for rehabilitation, and we have committed to covering all expenses during his stay.” He also shared photographs of himself, Agbeko, and members of the team at the hospital, marking the beginning of what many hope will be a successful recovery journey for the rapper.
Agbeko’s decision to enter rehabilitation comes just days after he initially turned down Edem’s offer for assistance. Once a vibrant figure in Ghana’s hiplife scene, the “Ototo Me” rapper has faced significant challenges related to addiction, which have contributed to a decline in his career. Public concern for his well-being grew after a viral video surfaced showing Agbeko pleading with media personality Andy Dosty for money to buy food. Although Andy Dosty declined to give him money, he later invited Agbeko onto his Hitz FM program, where the rapper disclosed that his substance issues began after an ex-girlfriend introduced him to drugs.
Agbeko’s admission into rehabilitation marks a critical turning point, and many in the industry are hopeful that this signifies the start of his recovery and eventual return to music.
