Rapper Emmanuel Kofi Botchway popularly known as Kwaw Kese has revealed that he nearly committed suicide in 2014.
The artiste said he got to the point of taking his life when his troubles had multiplied within a short period of time.
Kwaw Kese said the situation became unbearable and he almost hanged himself to death.
According to Kwaw Kese, he got divorced, he was jailed and lost his manager who was also his best friend back then, all in 2014.
”In 2014, after my manager was killed in cold blood and the same year I got divorced, got arrested and sent to prison, all these three things happening in one year, at a point I decided not to do music again”, he revealed to MzGee on 3FM.
”At that time, I had nobody to look up to apart from God. I was really depressed and didn’t want to do music again. I didn’t know what to do with my life but God spoke to me, I listened and I came back to Ghana and that was better”, he added.
The artiste said he suffered a great deal of depression as a result of his troubles.
”I was depressed for four months. I heard a voice telling me I was stronger than this and people look up to you so go back and do what you have to do”, he stated.
After the troubling experience, Kwaw Kese is back on his feet and has released many singles including an album.
