An emotional video involving Ghanaian musician Barosky has sparked concern after the once-popular entertainer revealed that he is currently homeless in the United Kingdom.
The heartbreaking revelation came during a street interview with Ghanaian radio personality Nana Romeo, who encountered the musician in the UK and gave him an opportunity to speak about his current situation.
In the footage, Barosky opened up about the difficult circumstances he is facing, presenting a striking contrast to the days when his name was familiar to many Ghanaian music lovers.
Barosky, known in private life as Isaac Obeng Mensah, emerged in Ghana’s music scene in the 2000s and worked alongside some of the biggest names of that era. He was associated with Ofori Amponsah’s music camp and appeared on popular recordings alongside musicians including Kofi Nti.
He notably featured on Ofori Amponsah’s hit “Otoolege,” alongside K.K. Fosu and Kofi Nti—a song that became one of the defining Ghanaian hits of its period.
Years later, however, the video with Nana Romeo paints a painful picture of how dramatically life can change.
The sight of an entertainer who once experienced recognition in Ghana now speaking about homelessness on the streets of the UK has triggered emotional conversations about the struggles some veteran musicians face after their careers slow down.
For many fans, Barosky’s situation is also a reminder that fame does not always guarantee lifelong financial security. Behind the music, performances and public recognition can be personal struggles that remain hidden from the public for years.
Nana Romeo’s encounter has now brought Barosky back into the spotlight, but under circumstances far removed from the music and entertainment that originally made his name known.
As the video continues to circulate, some social media users are expressing sympathy and calling for members of Ghana’s entertainment industry and the wider Ghanaian community abroad to rally behind him.
For Barosky, this unexpected return to public attention could become more than just a viral moment.
It may also become a desperate call for support as the veteran musician battles one of the most difficult chapters of his life.
