Agya Koo responds after TikTok account falsely claims he has died

Ghanaian actor Agya Koo has reassured the public that he is alive after a TikTok account circulated a false claim about his death. In a Facebook post on Sunday, November 8, 2026, the Kumawood star said the report was fabricated and sought to calm the concerns of fans and relatives who had seen it. Agya Koo identified the account behind the post as @blackgod. He suggested that whoever operated it had spread the claim to attract attention and increase engagement on social media. The actor condemned the practice of inventing death reports for online popularity, describing it as insensitive and harmful. He also thanked people who contacted him after coming across the rumour. According to his statement, the calls and messages expressing concern meant a great deal to him. His response aimed both to correct the false report and to acknowledge the public’s reaction. Agya Koo said his team was working to identify those responsible for the TikTok post and that further action would follow. The account of events has renewed discussion about the spread of unverified claims online, particularly when they falsely announce the death of a well-known person. The actor has previously responded to false reports concerning the death of fellow actor Kwame Dzokoto. The source says Agya Koo had said he would wait to confirm that news for himself, recalling that similar rumours had circulated before. It also reported that he dismissed comparable claims about Dzokoto the month prior. Agya Koo is one of the familiar figures in Ghana’s Kumawood film scene, where he has built a following over many years. His latest post focused on making clear that the death report was untrue and on the steps his team was taking in response.
