Ghanaian musician Andy says he was poisoned while in the TV3 Mentor house during the competition.
The artist was the first runner-up for the maiden edition of TV3’s music reality show ‘Mentor’.
He told Emelia Brobbey in an interview that he was poisoned three times but he was asked to keep quiet about it.
Andy said he doesn’t know who was behind it, but he believes he was poisoned because others saw him as a threat during the competition.
“I’ve been poisoned three times. I was poisoned during the Mentor times. I was made aware after diagnosis at the hospital. Mentor’s experience was not about regular food poisoning. It was actually a substance someone had put either into my food or water in an attempt to kill me,” he alleged.
“There’s always that tension in competitions and others see you as a threat so the best way is to get you out so there’s no competition,” he continued.
“I was admitted for three days at Holy Trinity Hospital (who were sponsors of the show) and that’s where someone hinted me of the reason I had been admitted. The individual, however, asked that I do not talk about it since that would have been the end of the show so I also had to keep mute on it,” he added.
Andy stated that after the unfortunate incident, he became vigilant and started preparing his own food.
TV3, organizers of the reality show, are yet to respond to the claim by Andy.
