Jamaican musician, Beenie Man has responded to claims that he contracted Covid-19 while in Ghana.
The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has launched investigations into allegations that the dancehall icon flouted Covid-19 protocols after allegedly testing positive.
According to reports, he was billed to perform at Stonebwoy’s Bhim Concert but was sent into mandatory quarantine at the AH Hotel immediately after touching down at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).
Beenie Man is said to have broken the directive by vacating the facility to appear on media platforms, including the much-anticipated concert, which saw a star-studded lineup at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) Grand Arena in Accra.
After his round of activities within the country, Beenie Man is alleged to have been arrested on his return to the Ghana Immigration Service at the airport for his passport.
He is said to have procured a fake clearance certificate to break protocol.
Director of Public Health at the GHS, Dr Franklin Asiedu Bekoe, stated in an interview with JoyNews that the circumstances under which the musician moved from the hotel to the show must be probed to ascertain the real facts of the case.
But the superstar is poised to clear his name.
In a tweet on Monday night, he explained that there may have been confusion somewhere.
"I have no Covid, never caught covid before, tested NEGATIVE for Covid," he *posted to his fans.
