Kid Dies Just 2 Weeks After Starring in Yvonne Nelson’s Movie?

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..
