Ghanaian veteran actor/comedian, Prince Yawson has reportedly died.

He is said to have passed on earlier today at the 37 Military Hospital after battling an illness.

The sad event was confirmed by veteran actor, Bob Smith Jnr (Diaboloman) who was inconsolable.

 

The actor, popularly known as ‘Waakye’, has featured in many prominent movies in the Ghanaian space.

 

Some years back in 2013, it was confirmed that Waakye was battling stroke after a photo of him on a hospital bed went viral.

However, he seemed to have recovered and found his purpose as an ordained Reverend minister in April 2021.

He attended a Bible school in Accra for his new religious role after he officially bowed out of the movie industry.
