Someone approached me and tried selling a phone to me; he said he was in a hurry, so I should quickly buy it. So, I swapped my phone along with some of my school fees, which I had on me, he recounted.
By the time I finally opened the package, it was floor tiles that had been glued together that I was holding, he revealed.
I spotted another guy doing the same thing. He approached me and told me the same story but this time, I was prepared, so I expressed interest in buying the phone and asked him to tell me the PIN to the phone so I could unlock it and go through it, he said.
I saw an older man approaching and ran to him crying that the seller was a thief trying to steal my phone, he continued.
I did and the man held the seller back while I ran. They chased me from Adum PZ to the Kumasi Cultural Centre, where I managed to evade them, he added with a chuckle.
The incident, though traumatic at the time, remains a memorable story from the artist’s youth—one that highlights both the dangers of street scams and the wit he displayed even as a teenager. Ghanaian musician Kweku Flick has shared how he falsely claimed ownership of a phone from a phone dealer in Kumasi-Adum PZ and swiftly fled in revenge after being deceived into buying a package of broken tiles instead of a phone. pic.twitter.com/QntCs4pK9Y
