While many celebrities chase attention on their birthdays, Kumawood actor and media figure Osoode spent his in silence—except for the quiet prayers of the forgotten legends he went to see.
In 2025, the actor, whose real name is Richard Sarkodie, marked his birthday not with fanfare, but with a visit to some of the aging figures of the Kumawood industry—actors who once entertained millions but are now battling sickness and hardship in the shadows.
Joined by a small team including Papa Jay, Osoode paid personal visits to a few of these struggling veterans. Among them was Kwaku Twumasi, a revered name in Ghanaian cinema now facing serious health issues, and Dada Poh Guy Guy, who has quietly endured life after fame.
Instead of blowing candles or cutting cake, Osoode handed out bags filled with groceries, hygiene supplies, and financial support. Though he didn’t disclose the amount, the reaction from the recipients said it all—Kwaku Twumasi couldn’t hold back tears.
Osoode explained that he used to donate to orphanages on his birthdays, but something shifted in him this year. He felt called to check on those whose talents had paved the way for actors like himself.
Dada Poh used the moment to speak out, revealing how the transition from screen stardom to everyday struggle has been lonely and tough. Osoode, deeply moved by their stories, asked only for their blessings in return.
This wasn’t a publicity stunt. There were no bright lights, no branded backdrops—just real emotions, heartfelt prayers, and a quiet act of gratitude that’s now resonating across social media.
