Hiplife star Barima Sidney spills the beans on fair-weather friends. He says his NPP pals ghosted him after they hit the big time.
“Let me tell you something funny,” Sidney shares. “I had a bunch of buddies in the NPP before they won. But after they got power? Poof! Gone like magic. Call them? Nothing. Text them? Crickets.”
But in this sea of silence, one voice stood out. Sidney can’t stop praising the late John Kumah. This guy was the real deal, he says.
“John was different,” Sidney gushes. “He’d always get back to me. ‘Come see me at parliament,’ he’d say. Or anywhere, really.”
Sidney remembers Kumah as a true helper. “He’d ask what I was up to, tell me about new opportunities. He’d even show me how to apply for stuff. That guy really listened.”
Kumah’s death hit Sidney hard. “Since he passed, I’ve been in a funk. We were tight. I didn’t even know he was sick. I’d message him, and he’d still reply when he could.”
In a world where power can change people, Sidney’s story is a reminder. True friends are rare gems, shining even in the darkest times.
