"Have bought my mom the car she wanted but still complains of fuel money" - Amerado Burner

Amerado Burner and his mother, Adwoa Konadu

Ghanaian musician Amerado Burner has won hearts and tickled funny bones after sharing a humorous account of his recent gesture for his mother, Adwoa Konadu.

The artist took to social media to announce that he had fulfilled one of his mother’s long-time wishes by buying her the car she had always wanted. However, what was meant to be a joyful surprise has turned into a “fuel-draining” experience for him.

He wrote: “By the Grace of God…I got my mum the car she’s always wanted, but now she’s draining me with fuel money. Isn’t the car owner supposed to handle that ei?😩”

The post quickly went viral, drawing both heartwarming and hilarious reactions from fans and fellow celebrities. While many applauded Amerado’s generosity, others poked fun at him, noting that “mothers never stop depending on their children.”

Amerado, whose real name is Derrick Sarfo Kantanka, is known for his storytelling and poetic lyricism in songs such as Metua, Grace, and Abotr3 (Patience). His latest act adds to the growing list of Ghanaian musicians who, despite their success, continue to support and care for their parents.
