Ghanaian rapper Edem is making headlines after a recent Instagram Live session where he faced backlash for rejecting a fan's request for GHC2,000 to cover rent. During the tense exchange, Edem advised the fan to take personal responsibility and even suggested returning to their hometown. His comments sparked a wave of reactions online.

Another fan chimed in, expressing disappointment over unpaid compensation for a portrait they created of Edem. The rapper clarified that the artwork was unsolicited and therefore did not warrant payment. This incident has ignited a debate about celebrity responsibility and fan expectations, leaving many divided.
