Popular Kumasi-based radio presenter DJ KA has reportedly been suspended by Kessben FM as the controversy surrounding a widely circulated private video continues to intensify.

The broadcaster, whose real name is Rexford Adu Ntim, was taken off the air on Thursday, July 23, 2026, in what has been described as management’s response to the growing public attention surrounding the incident.

News of the suspension was announced on social media by broadcaster Owoahene Acheampong, who indicated that DJ KA would not be presenting his programme that day. He praised management for treating the situation seriously and protecting the station’s reputation. However, Kessben Media had not publicly announced the exact duration of the suspension at the time of reporting.

The development marks a dramatic setback for DJ KA, who has built a large following through his radio programmes and online content celebrating Ghana’s classic music. His distinctive music breakdowns and knowledge of highlife helped establish him as one of Kumasi’s recognisable entertainment personalities.

The controversy began after private footage reportedly involving the presenter and a woman circulated across social media. The identity of the woman and the circumstances under which the recording entered the public domain have not been officially established.

DJ KA subsequently issued a public apology, describing his decision to make the recording as a serious error of judgment. He accepted responsibility for creating it but strongly denied claims that he deliberately released or circulated the footage online.

The presenter apologised to his family, employer, colleagues, supporters and others affected by the situation. He also asked the public not to allow unverified claims about the video’s release to overshadow the facts.

His suspension has generated mixed reactions. Some social-media users have supported Kessben FM’s reported decision, arguing that media personalities must protect the reputations of the organisations they represent. Others have appealed for compassion, pointing to the emotional damage caused when private material is distributed without consent.

The scandal has now placed DJ KA’s broadcasting career at a critical crossroads. While his apology may represent the beginning of an attempt to rebuild public trust, his return to the airwaves will depend on the final decision of Kessben Media’s management.

The incident also serves as a serious reminder about digital privacy and the lasting consequences that can follow the recording and circulation of intimate content.
