Veteran Ghanaian highlife musician Barosky is reportedly facing homelessness in Manchester, United Kingdom, sparking concern among fans and members of the Ghanaian community both at home and abroad.
The musician, known for his collaborations with highlife stars such as Ofori Amponsah and Kofi Nti, has reportedly been sleeping rough and relying on the support of strangers for basic necessities.
The situation came to public attention after a UK-based Ghanaian identified as Kofi revealed that he housed Barosky for six months in an effort to help him rebuild his life. According to Kofi, efforts to provide long-term support became difficult due to personal challenges and disagreements.
Barosky has reportedly expressed a strong desire to return to Ghana and start a new chapter in his life. The appeal has attracted support from media personalities, diaspora groups, and concerned fans, with fundraising efforts reportedly underway to assist with travel and immediate support upon his return.
The story has also reignited conversations about the welfare of veteran musicians after their years of fame and success.
Many fans are now calling on industry stakeholders and philanthropists to support the highlife star during this difficult period.
