Ghanaian actor John Peasah, known as Drogba from the YOLO series, has dismissed viral claims that businessman Ibrahim Mahama has paid his reported $88,000 medical bills, warning the rumours are undermining efforts to raise support for his treatment.
In a post on X on 30 April 2026, Peasah said the widely shared claims are untrue and have had immediate consequences for his fundraising.
“Because of this, all real help has ceased. People say Ibrahim Mahama has stepped in,” he wrote.
He clarified that he has not been contacted by Mr Mahama or his team and insisted he would publicly acknowledge any such support if it happened.
“Stepping in means he contacted me. He hasn’t. I have not heard from his team. If he helps me, I will thank him here first. These rumours have serious consequences,” he added.
Peasah has recently appealed for financial assistance as he deals with ongoing health challenges, drawing public sympathy and support. However, he said the false reports are now discouraging potential donors who believe his needs have already been met.
He urged those spreading the claims to stop, stressing that inaccurate information is directly affecting his chances of getting the help he needs.
