According to reports from Pure FM Online, investigations unveiled that the Ofie Nipa hitmaker’s mother, Madam Cecilia Atootaga, had allegedly abandoned him at the Willingway Foundation-Ghana Recovery Centre at Ejisu-Asawasi despite him completing his rehabilitation program.
Okomfo Kwadee has been stranded at the rehabilitation centre for a while due to unpaid medical bills amounting to GH₵7,000, which his mother has reportedly refused to pay to secure his return home after he recovered from his health issues.
Further investigations also uncovered that the embattled hiplife musician’s mother had allegedly misappropriated the large funds she received as donations from Ghanaians with the support of media personality Ohemaa Woyeje, who helped lead a campaign to solicit financial support for the rapper in March 2025.
Madam Cecilia Atootaga has allegedly not paid for Okomfo Kwadee’s medical bills, food, clothing, toiletries, or any personal upkeep since he was admitted to the Willingway Foundation-Ghana Recovery Centre several months ago.
She is also alleged to have suggested to some family members that her son remain in rehab for most of his life and proposed that he be moved to another rehabilitation centre at Kwadaso, which has poor conditions.

Okomfo Kwadee is reported to have kicked against his mother’s suggestions and expressed his desire to return to society and relaunch his music career in Ghana.
Officials at the Willingway Foundation-Ghana reportedly confirmed to Pure FM Online that the hiplife musician was no longer staying at the facility due to medical reasons.
In an interview, Okomfo Kwadee expressed deep frustration and disappointment over his prolonged stay at the rehabilitation centre.
He said:
“I have done my part. I am ready. All I ask is for the opportunity to go home and work. My music is my life.”
The latest update on Okomfo Kwadee’s situation comes weeks after Kumawood actor Kwaku Manu visited the Willingway Foundation Ghana in April 2025 to check up on the embattled hiplife musician.
According to the facility’s CEO, Lydia Abena Manu, the rapper was previously admitted to her facility and was responding well to treatment following his first stint.
Kwaku Manu later shared a photo he took with Okomfo Kwadee and the Willingway Foundation Ghana CEO following his visit to the facility.
