Ghanaian musician Mzbel has revealed that she had concerns about the health of actor and broadcaster Kwame Dzokoto before his death, saying she feared his lifestyle could eventually affect his wellbeing.
Mzbel made the remarks during an appearance on UTV’s United Showbiz on October 24, 2026, where she reflected on the late entertainer’s health and his work on the food programme Edziban.
According to Mzbel, she had observed changes in Dzokoto’s physical appearance that made her worry about his health. She reportedly described his stomach as noticeably swollen and said she believed the condition could have been affecting his breathing.
She also expressed concern about the amount of food he appeared to consume while presenting Edziban, a programme associated with showcasing Ghanaian meals. Mzbel suggested that repeatedly eating different dishes during the production of food-related content could pose challenges for a person’s health if not managed carefully.
However, her comments reflected her personal observations and opinions. No medical evidence was presented in the reports to establish that Dzokoto’s eating habits or the physical changes she described caused his death.
Mzbel said she had not found an opportunity to speak directly with Dzokoto about her concerns before his passing. Her comments have since drawn attention to the pressures that entertainers and online content creators may face when producing material centred on food consumption.
She used the opportunity to caution content creators against placing views, likes and audience engagement ahead of their health. According to her, those involved in food-related programmes should be mindful of their eating habits and avoid putting themselves at risk in pursuit of entertainment or online popularity.
Dzokoto was a familiar face in Ghana’s entertainment industry, having built a career as an actor, broadcaster and television personality. His work on Edziban connected him with audiences interested in Ghanaian food and culture.
News of his death emerged after he reportedly collapsed during a radio discussion at Owass FM in Tarkwa on October 22, 2026. He was subsequently taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to reports.
His passing prompted reactions from members of the entertainment industry and audiences who had followed his work over the years.
While Mzbel’s comments have raised questions about the importance of health awareness among entertainers, the exact medical cause of Dzokoto’s death had not been established in the reports reviewed.
Medical professionals generally advise people to seek appropriate assessment when they experience persistent abdominal swelling, breathing difficulties or other unusual physical changes. Such symptoms can have different causes and cannot reliably be used on their own to determine a person’s underlying condition.
Mzbel’s remarks have therefore renewed discussion about the balance between entertainment and personal wellbeing, particularly for creators whose work may involve repeated food consumption or other demanding routines.
As tributes continue to reflect on Dzokoto’s contribution to Ghanaian entertainment, his death also serves as a reminder of the importance of taking health concerns seriously without drawing conclusions about the cause of an illness or death before medical findings are available.
