Video: I Spent Months In A Ghanaian Jail After Kashy Godson’s Death – Barry Jhay Recounts Ordeal
Nigerian singer, Bary Jhay has recounted his experience in Ghana following the death of his manager, Kashy Godson in 2021.
There was controversy surrounding the manager’s demise as people accused Barry of having a hand because they had a fight before the incident.
The musician was consequently arrested by the Ghanaian police while investigations were ongoing, and though the cause of Kashy’s death was unknown, there were claims that the record label founder committed suicide.
In a recent interview on the Echo Room, Barry Jhay said he had to stay away from music for a while as the event left him traumatized.
The ‘Aiye’ singer said he was held in detention for a month and two weeks, but he added that he was not arrested as a suspect.
Jhay explained that the authorities felt the need to detain him for protection from those that may have planned to harm him over the incident.
He said; “I had to stay away from music, it caused me PTSD. I was not arrested because I was a suspect, they arrested and kept me because they thought some people were going to do something crazy to me.”
