Scores of Ghanaians have paid tribute to veteran actor Psalm Adjeteyfio, better known as T.T, following his demise in the early hours of Friday, April 8, 2022.
Psalm Adjeteyfio died at age 74 at his residence in Ayikuma after being diagnosed with end-stage heart failure a couple of weeks ago and after a long battle with diabetes and hypertension.
His son, Ezra Adjeteyfio, confirmed his death to Graphic Showbiz revealing that he discovered his father lying unconscious on his bed. He left behind four children.
Prior to his death, Psalm Adjeteyfio came under vicious attacks from angry Ghanaians over his constant plea for support to foot his bills.
The actor, who was best known for his role as the lead character in the Ghanaian TV series Taxi Driver, received bad press after an audio of him begging for leftovers from popular media personality MzGee surfaced earlier this year.
This was after he received a donation of GHC50,000 from Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, GHC1,500 from the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Henry Quartey, as well as other well-meaning Ghanaians after his predicaments first came to light in 2021.
It appeared the numerous donations were not enough to solve his problems as he kept coming back. This infuriated many who took a swipe at the actor describing him as wasteful and a nuisance.
Following his demise, his fans have slammed Ghanaians who criticised him for soliciting help while he was alive.
