A Familiar Ghanaian Voice Sleeping Rough in Manchester

Barosky is a Ghanaian musician living in Manchester in the United Kingdom. His voice featured on well-known Ghanaian songs, including Kofi Nti's Rakia and Ofori Amponsah's Toolege, which placed him among the country's recognised musicians.

In August 2026, in an interview with Nana Romeo of Okay FM, he said he was homeless and struggling to meet his basic needs. He said that he was sleeping on the street for now, had not bathed for some time, and was relying on other people for food. The interview prompted a public reaction, reported by Graphic Online on 24 August 2026.

He told the presenter that he had been out of touch with his family in Ghana for a while and had few friends, and no relatives, in the UK. Asked what he wanted, he said he would choose returning to Ghana over having a room: he wants to go home.

In a TikTok post on 23 August 2026, the Ghanaian performer Stajay said he had taken Barosky into his Manchester home after the interview. The report does not say whether a return to Ghana has been arranged. It is a recent and still-developing story, and this account reflects only what had been published by that date.
