Ghanaian singer Camidoh has recently stirred controversy with pictures and a video of him smoking an unknown substance that went viral on social media.
In a recent interview on Joy Prime’s Prime Morning show with Roselyn Felli, Camidoh explained that he was using visuals to tell a story and create memories of his life journey.
The ‘Sugarcane’ hit maker defended his actions, stating that everyone has their own reasons for the things they engage in, and he sees nothing wrong with his decision. Despite facing backlash from social media users, Camidoh stands firm in his belief that he was trying to convey a positive story through his actions.
When asked if he had any regrets, Camidoh responded, “No. But I guess it’s an unfolding story; it’s something that man has been through, and he tries to tell a story, but it has to come in phases.” He emphasized the importance of patience in understanding the full story behind his actions.
Furthermore, Camidoh addressed the perception of smoking, noting that it may not be as bad as most people think and that it is essential for doctors to determine whether it is suitable for each individual. Born Raphael Camidoh Kofi Attachie, the afrobeat sensation is recognized as one of Ghana’s best at composing hit songs, with his track ‘Sugarcane’ being the most viewed Ghanaian music video on YouTube in May 2024.
The singer recently released a new track titled ‘Nothing Last Forever’ and revealed that his smoking incident was a result of a heartbreak that caused him significant pain. Camidoh has since learned valuable lessons from his experience and has channeled his emotions into his music, encouraging others to avoid similar struggles.
