Multiple award-winning Ghanaian afrobeats and high-life singer, Dennis Nana Dwamena popularly known as KiDi has disclosed that he was tempted to take legal action against bloggers who spread false rumours about his health.
The rumours, which claimed that the ‘Enjoyment’ hitmaker had suffered a stroke, circulated on social media in February after he canceled his North American tour which was supposed to be held in March due to undisclosed health issues.
In an interview with Andy Dosty on Day Break Hitz at Hitz FM, KiDi said that he was “distressed” by the rumours and that they had a negative impact on his family, friends, and the brands he collaborates with. He also said that he was “overwhelmed” by the support he received from fans during this difficult time.
KiDi didn’t take the situation lightly and considered taking legal action against the bloggers responsible for spreading the false news. He confided in Richie, the CEO of Lynx Entertainment, questioning the continuous recurrence of such malicious stories. It was evident to KiDi that certain individuals were taking advantage of such situations for their benefit.
“When it happed I called Richie 9CEO of Lynx Entertainment) and asked ‘how many times or for how long will these things happen and we will say it’s nothing? How long will we have to keep doing this? People are taking advantage obviously as you can see’. There needs to be some course of action,” KiDi said.
After much consideration, KiDi and his team decided not to pursue legal action. He said that he did not want to give the negative news any more attention and that he preferred to focus on his music and making a comeback.
