Accra: Kwabena Boakye, a close associate of Ghanaian actress Vivian Jill, has publicly confirmed reports that he has received an offer of GHS80,000 and assistance with processing a French visa from the actress. In a video circulating on social media, Kwabena admitted that the reports were true but explained that he intentionally chose not to speak about it earlier.
According to Ghana Web, Kwabena stated that after previously opening up about feeling mistreated by people he looked up to, many people advised him to remain silent. For that reason, he decided to keep quiet about the latest development as well. He acknowledged, “If you hear that I have been given GHS80,000 and a French visa, it is true. And I should have come out to say a long time ago.”
Kwabena revealed that during a meeting with Vivian Jill and her team to receive the offer, he was asked to record the meeting and share it on his social media pages. However, he declined, insisting that everything he had previously said about his experiences was genuine and came from his heart. He explained, “They said I shouldn’t stand anywhere and mention anyone’s name again but after they gave me the money they wanted me to film it and deny what I said. I didn’t want to film it because everything I said before was true.”
He further disclosed that before the final package was agreed upon, he had initially requested a small car to help him move around. His request was heeded, and he was asked to look for a car he wanted so it could be paid for. He found a 2015-2016 Toyota Corolla at a garage he liked, but Vivian Jill advised against buying it because she knew the owner of the garage.
Vivian Jill was reportedly concerned that people online might accuse her of secretly arranging the purchase through someone she knew. As a result, she asked him to stop pursuing the vehicle, explaining that they would instead give him money so he could buy a car himself and use the remaining amount for other needs. Eventually, the arrangement changed, and he was informed that they had settled on a different package: GHS80,000 in cash together with the processing of a France visa.
Kwabena also added that he came online to rant because he felt left out and neglected. Following his confirmation, social media users have begun criticizing him. Many argue that when he felt neglected, he publicly accused Vivian Jill of being a hypocrite and openly criticized her. They now question why he remained silent after she allegedly responded to his concerns by offering him financial support and assistance with relocating abroad.
The development has generated mixed reactions online, with some praising Vivian Jill for extending support despite the public criticism, while others continue to question Kwabena Boakye’s decision not to publicly acknowledge the gesture until now.
