‘Ghana Tupac’ Ahuofe Abrantie dies at 21
Popular Ghanaian comic rapper and social media sensation Ahuofe Abrantie, popularly known as ‘Ghana Tupac’ has passed away, local news outlets have confirmed.
Although details surrounding Ahuofe’s death are still sketchy at the moment, they said he died in his apartment in Kumasi in the early hours on Thursday shortly after concluding 16-hour live-streaming.
He was aged 21.
Popular Kumasirapper, Jay Bhad of Asakaa Boys fame posted a cryptic video of Ahuofe and captioned it, “Life too short, rest well Ahuofe, you gone (sic) be miss 4ever.”
TV3 Ghana also confirmed the death of the Tik Tok sensation with his video and a caption that read, “Popular Ghanaian Tik Toker, Ahuofe reportedly dead.”
Ahuofe rose to fame some months ago thanks to his mild resemblance to late American rapper Tupac Shakur, taking advantage of that by taking over the persona of the real Tupac including the gangster lifestyle of the late rapper.
He regularly posts videos of himself on TikTok rapping and wearing big jewellery while gallivanting around, a culture that was vastly popular with rappers in the United States during the 80s and 90s.
The comedian had amassed an impressive 3.9 million followers and over 39.8 million viewers on his TikTok’s 217 videos as at the time of filing this report.
