Dennis Nana Dwamena, better known by his stage as KiDi, has voiced concern over the frequency of threats made against his family ever since his old, offensive tweets started to circulate again on social media.
A few years ago, the Afrobeats musician emerged online with some old tweets in which he insulted John Dramani Mahama, John Evans Atta Mills, John Agyekum Kufuor, and President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Trolls have targeted some celebrities in the entertainment industry, including TV host Delay, actors John Dumelo, Yvonne Nelson, and Jackie Appiah.
Although the “remorseful” KiDi has acknowledged his mistakes, the “Touch it” hitmaker claimed that some people don’t seem to care about his apology.
Regarding the magnitude of the effort being made to harm him, KiDi stated that certain people are now pursuing his family members.
βItβs been 4-5 days now and my whole family is still under threat. Even people that have got nothing to do with the situation are catching heat. The treats are hard to deal with. Itβs sad to see that there are people who do not care about your apologies or even who you are ten years ago,β he said on Accra-based FM station.
The Lynx Entertainment signee explained that he didn’t remove the tweets since he had even forgotten about them.
βSome of the tweets, honestly, I do not even remember. Itβs not like I did not care. What I did was terrible and there is no justification whatsoever. We had to go through so many things to arrive at where we are. We had to unlearn a lot of things that we grew up with and relearn the good ones,β he added.
