- Singer finds redemption after hitting rock bottom
Jehoshaphat Kwabena Eshun, widely recognized as Screwfaze, has candidly shared his experiences with financial instability, revealing that he has been living in a single room despite his popularity as a hiplife artist.
In a recent live TikTok video, the “Gbalagazaa” hitmaker spoke about the poor decisions he made during his prime that ultimately led to his financial downfall. “I lost everything, I was living in a single room. I know some people will say why didn’t I save, yes I saved, but there is a way life will hit you and no matter who you are, you can lose everything,” Screwfaze, who is currently living abroad, explained.
The artist further disclosed that his struggles were exacerbated by familial rejection, particularly highlighting his wife’s decision to distance him from their children. “My family members abandoned me, I was depressed, and even my wife didn’t want anything to do with me. She even prevented me from my children because I made some wrong decisions and refused to listen to advice,” he said.
Screwfaze’s career has been marked by prolific output, with hundreds of songs to his name. He has collaborated with numerous Ghanaian artists, including notable figures like Castro, Shiloh, Mz Bell, and KK Fosu.
