KiDi returned to social media on Friday, April 14 with a message for his followers after taking a short break from the internet. The 2022 VGMA artiste of the year shared a video of himself on social media with a lengthy caption detailing the reason for his absence on social media and also reacting to the stroke rumours.
“A little under two months ago, I made the painful decision of cancelling my tour to take care of my health that included taking time off social media,” KiDi wrote in a statement. “Unfortunately, a few bad actors took this as an opportunity to spread false stories that got a lot of you very concerned. While i do not want to give it any more attention, i want to categorically address that those stories were false.”
“I am glad to be back to doing what i love most; creating music and performing for you,” he added.
KiDi postponed his highly-anticipated North American tour on February 24 due to health related issues.
The Ghana-based recording and performing artiste was slated to kick off his North American tour this month in Boston, making stops in New York, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, Columbus, Washington, and more before concluding in Seattle halfway through the month. The tour was named “The Golden Boy” after his well-received 2021 sophomore album of the same name, which spawned the cross-over hit “Touch It” and its 2022 remix featuring American rapper Tyga.
