“I’m Not Dead” — Paa George Breaks Silence on Recurring Death Hoax
Veteran Ghanaian actor Paa George has dismissed rumours circulating on social media claiming that he has died, describing the reports as false and malicious.
Speaking in an exclusive interview on Max FM’s Drive time show with Kumi Kasa, the seasoned actor revealed that he first heard about the alleged death from a friend who called him early in the morning to confirm the news.
According to Paa George, the caller repeatedly mentioned his name to ensure he was truly speaking to him.
“It was early in the morning that someone called me, and he mentioned my name, ‘Paa’, and I answered. He called my name again, and I responded. He asked, ‘Paa, is that you?’ I said yes and asked if he was okay,” he recounted.
The friend then informed him that social media platforms were awash with reports claiming he was dead.
“I asked what was going on, and he said it was all over social media that I am dead,” the actor stated.
Paa George expressed frustration over what he described as the third false death announcement about him. He indicated that such rumours have been intentionally spread over a long period, largely because he has chosen not to confront those behind them.
“I told them they are all sick. This is the third time they are announcing that I’m dead. They do that because I don’t confront them,” he said.
While acknowledging that death is inevitable for everyone, the veteran actor said he was pained by the repeated false reports about his demise.
“Everyone is going to die; however, I’m in pain because it is not yet my time. So if you wish death for me, death will come for you,” he added.
