Rapper Edem and Agbeko
Rapper Edem has disclosed that a full-day intervention to help fellow artiste Agbeko seek professional rehabilitation ended unsuccessfully after Agbeko refused to enter the programme at the Pantang Health Facility.
In a post on X, Edem explained that he and his team made several attempts to offer support to the troubled artiste, who has been struggling with drug addiction for years. He noted that they began the day by spending time with Agbeko, first taking him to an eatery and later to a salon for a clean-up and haircut in an effort to boost his confidence ahead of the planned rehabilitation visit.
However, when they arrived at Pantang for admission into the rehabilitation programme, Agbeko resisted all efforts to get him to check in.
“It’s with deep disappointment that I inform well-wishers and family that we did everything possible to get Agbeko on a new path,” Edem wrote. “We spent the whole day together, and even after four extra hours at the Pantang Health Facility, he refused to enter the programme despite professional guidance.”
Edem expressed gratitude to his team and all individuals who stepped in to assist, including supporters from VRMG.
Concerns about Agbeko’s well-being intensified after a video posted by DJ Bridash on October 28, 2025, showed the rapper approaching Hitz FM’s Andy Dosty on the street to ask for money. In the clip, Agbeko appeared unkempt and admitted he needed cash to purchase “some items.” Andy Dosty declined to give him money, citing fears that it could worsen his situation, and instead offered to buy him food—an offer Agbeko reluctantly accepted.
The viral video prompted Edem to reach out to his colleague in hopes of guiding him towards recovery.
