This sad story reminds me of what became a taboo in the days of Akan Drama and Thursday Theatre…
From what I heard then, someone played dead in one of those dramas and few weeks later, the person really died. And as such, it sort of became a taboo or fearsome for anyone to play a role that entails the person dying.
What I believe started happening was that, the dramas will start with people crying and holding some sort of funeral; indicating that someone has died—but you would never get to see the person who died or any actor playing a role of the dead.
Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson took to instagram today to make a sad announcement that the little kid (Kweku) she is holding in her hands (photos above and below) has passed away—just 2 weeks after featuring in her soon to be released movie.
It’s pretty sad—and we hope this does not means mothers will start getting worried about their kids being featured in Ghanaian movies…
Knowing Ghana, we hope people do not come out claiming Yvonne Nelson’s movie killed him..
Check below for another photo…
Of course, some people will accuse her of killing him.
De kid was suffering from cerebral malformation so I guess it would be cruel to accuse yn*
who the heck would accuse her??aah gh ppl paaa..
WAIT AND SEE TILL “YAANOM” COME WITH THIER REPORTS, SOME WILL EVEN SAY SHE USED HIM FOR VOODOO.
REST IN PEACE LITTLE MAN, THERES A BETTER PLACE FOR YOU.
Chris has started already, he thinks he is smart, we all know the level of hatred you have for Yvonne. So couldn’t you have written this piece in a more different way. I wonder how you would have presented it if it was Jackie. Have my condolence Yvonne. Gh loves you. Mtcheeeeeeew.
I dont think anyone in their right mind will accuse Y.N of killing the boy. May he rest in perfect peace.
This is very sad, RIP little one
That is so sad….may his soul rest in peace
It breaks my heart when ever I hear of the demise of a little one. My prayers goes to the family and Miss Nelson. I am proud that this kid had a purpose in this life after all. Cerebral malformation is one of those diseases you hardly hear people shining a light on so I am happy Miss Nelson has made a movie about this heinous disease. Fare well Kweku.
Oh this is sad news, but no one should blame yvvone until investigations have been conducted and done.
What investigations? This is not a murder case.
Am just stating because there will inevitably be questioning surrounding his death.
Madam the poor baby died of cerebral palsy…there’s no question coming from anywhere in any form.
Madam I didn’t know…thx for stating
Lol I smell that shade ‘madam’ but it’s ok
Loool no
Naaaah I’m just messing with u…I’m good.
First of all its very heart breaking to see this lil boy die so earlier. Its very unfortunate but God only know his reasons. I just don’t understand why people trying to point figure at YN. She has nothing to do with his death, just cos he was featured in her movies, and unfortunately died few weeks after doesn’t mean YN has something to do with it. Ghanaian will always create a story when there’s non to be told. RIP Kkweku. My heart really goes to his family
I’ve read stuff here that gets me angry but this tops it all…I never comment but de fact that GC is using a child who was poorly to get at Yvonne Nelson is disgusting. We all know how GC doesn’t like Yvonne Nelson but couldn’t u have made de story about de poor little boy, must u be always be so negative??? If u’re going to report something about someone at least do your readers justice by putting de whole story out der…where is de bit about de child having cerebral malformation, couldn’t sit, eat, stand or evn speak??? U guys are so unprofessional I don’t even know what to say. Ynonne, we all know how you’re hurting…RIP Kweku
Thanks..
Chris and his team hate YN but she will continue to shine..I respect Ynonne soo much she don’t react to Chris childish behaviours. Grow up Chris!!
The poor boy suffered from cerebral palsy, yet his mother allowed him to shoot long hours. His fragile body probably could not stand withstand all that pressure under the hot sun. Just saying. What YN could have done was have another kid play the role. This boy was sick and should not have featured in the movie to begin.
Awuraba, nk) fa as3m biara mma. Saman..
And how did you know the boy was under “the hot sun” for long hours? were you on set too?
