Veteran actor, Psalm Adjeteyfio has been speaking about how he wasted the GH¢50,000 cash donation from the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia meant for his rent and upkeep.
He said he used ¢30,000 to buy two plots of land and also purchased a used taxi for his son for GH¢20,000.
The explanation has come a day after he was captured in a viral audio on social media begging for leftover food from media personality MzGee.
The audio left many to wonder how a man who had received such a colossal amount from the Vice President and an extra ¢1,500 as monthly upkeep from the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Henry Quartey will come back begging for help.
To clear the air, the actor who is popularly known as T.T. said he has invested the funds that were accrued from these donations, hence his current state.
“Taking note of the situation, the whole world had their eye on the money so I should be very careful how I use the money, so I got two plots of land which I paid for one with ready cash I’m yet to pay for the other one,” he said in an interview on Takoradi-based Empire FM.
Strangely, the reason the Vice President came to TT’s rescue did not feature in his spending.
Dr Bawumia had donated to the actor to enable him to pay for his rent and use the rest for his upkeep.
But after blowing the cash TT has gone back to his begging way, asking people for leftovers.
TT pleaded with potential donors who backed off upon hearing the announcement of the Vice President’s gesture to keep supporting him to survive.
Meanwhile, there is a brouhaha over who leaked the audio. MzGee who was heavily criticised for the leak claimed she didn’t leak the audio, alleging she only sent it to someone in the office of the Vice President.
But speaking on Empire Fm, T.T also alleged that MzGee told him she forwarded the said audio to her husband when she was not in Ghana to see how best they could help him.
This, therefore, presupposes that her claims about only sending the audio to someone at the office of the Vice President may not be entirely accurate.

He should tell us how the 40k given him by the Chief of Staff? Oh so it's true you received over 100k and have squandered the whole money in 5months? Why buy 2plots of land, were you hoping to continue begging as you are doing now to build on the land? Shame on you. Disappointed in you.
In as much as i sympathize with TT, he should equally be blamed for his current predicament. You have been given money for your upkeep and you decide to buy two plots of land at GHC 30,000.00. In your current state how are you going to build on the said lands? Upkeep is about hand to mouth and maybe medications. Some of those who initially came to your aid are tenants in people's houses, they don't even have plots much more buildings of their own. There are more people facing much more problems than yours, its just that they may not be popular as you. He should take a second look at what he uses the gifts from others for. Nobody will assist a beggar knowing he is putting up a house.
