Akwasi Boadi, popularly known as Akrobeto

I dislike celebs who are arrogant – Actor Akrobeto
When celebrities are famous, they sometimes
disregard ordinary people but Kumasi based actor
Akwasi Boadi, popularly known as Akrobeto, says he
hates stars who are rude and arrogant.

“Seriously for me what I hate in life is celebs
who are arrogant, meanwhile such people haven’t
achieved anything substantial in life.”

Speaking on ‘Pae Mu Ka’, a segment on Kasapa
FM’s Entertainment show, the actor said
regardless of a person’s wealth and popularity,
superstars should demonstrate the attitude of
being submissive to all manner of people they come
across.

Some Ghanaian celebrities have been labelled as
super rude and arrogant by a section of the public
because of how they carry themselves once they
become popular.

The actor sharing his success story, attributed it
to the founder and leader of Kristo Asafo, Apostle
Dr. Kwadwo Sarfo.

According to him, Apostle took care of him after
his father’s death and even though he wasn’t
good in class, Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo paid his
school fees until he completed form 4.

He added that Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo brought him
from Oda to Accra to join Nkomode who was also
from Anloga in Kumasi to form a band.

The award winning actor on how he got the name
“Akrobeto”, said he used to wash a taxi cab
which was driven by Nkomoda during their stay in
Accra so he had to always wait in the house for
his comedian friend to return from work else he
won’t get paid.

“I had to always wait for him to come back from
work so that I will get the opportunity to wash
his car and get paid. If he comes home and I’m
not around, he washes his car and I lose the money
so he called me Akrobeto because I was always at
home waiting for him.”

He noted that the name ‘Akrobeto’ is
officially part of his other names since he’s
sworn an affidavit.

Akwasi Boadi Akrobeto also revealed that he’s
been blessed through his acting career, adding
that despite owning mansions, one in Accra and one
in Kumasi and numerous cars (Toyota Venza, Honda
Crosstour, Toyota Corolla) he will always open up
to everyone he meets.

He admonished promising stars to relate well with
anyone especially their fans and eschew pride.

‘Pae Mu Ka’ is a new segment on Kasapa
Entertainment on Kasapa 102.5FM, it seeks to delve
into the real life situations of Ghanaian
celebrities. Kasapa Entertainment is hosted by
Radio and Television Award nominee, Kojo Preko
Dankwa every Saturday from 2pm to 4pm.
