Ghanaians called for Hip-hop artiste, Joey B’s head after he failed to show up at an event where he was to perform.
This is inspite of being paid for the show and a flyer released to that effect.
That was the second consecutive time Joey had a ‘no-show’, leaving fans to come to the conclusion that it was deliberate on his part to disrespect his fans.
What they did not know was that the artiste was battling for his life, having constant asthmatic attacks because his condition has become chronic for sometime now.
Joey B made the revelation in a series of tweets in which he apologised to his fans.
According to him, he appreciates every effort his fans make to see him on stage, and as much as he wanted to show up, he suffered a serious attack at the last minute.
i have still performed in this condition and exuded rage/energy on stage. i will not deliberately take monies and not deliver as expected. i did not no show an event because i think i’m drake. free events sef, i still show love how much more paid ones.

The development, he said, was communicated to the event organisers who should have done the appropriate thing by announcing his absence prior to the show.
According to him, he intended to make his condition private, but with the recent attacks on his brand and reputation, he has been forced to make the painful disclosure.
He revealed that since last year, he has been suffering constant asthmatic attacks due to the weather and excessive dust in Ghana.
However, Joey B said publicising his condition is not to seek sympathy or make an excuse for not dropping music in a while.
i’ve kept these attacks private as i dont want it as an excuse for not dropping music or seeking sympathy. but where it catch, image tarnishing come inside and i have to let y’all know whats been up.

The artiste wishes that his fans understand him and remember him in prayers as he takes a break to seek treatment.
