Veteran Ghanaian actor Agya Koo has responded to public criticism following claims by his daughter, Maame Brago, that he failed to support her music career. In an interview with One Ghana TV, Agya Koo clarified that his actions were misunderstood, emphasizing that his priority was her education before entering the entertainment industry.

As reported by YEN, Agya Koo stated, “It’s not that I don’t support her. I just wanted her to finish school. She actually speaks English very well.” He explained that he was aware of Brago’s early involvement in music and expressed concern that her mother had been taking her to events and media appearances without his knowledge or consent.

“She started a long time ago, and when I found out, I told her mother I wasn’t comfortable with how things were being handled,” he said.

The actor, who is also musically inclined, shared his disappointment that Brago never sought his guidance or mentorship. He believes he could have supported her effectively if she had reached out.

Brago’s earlier interview in 2024, where she praised her stepfather for being more supportive than Agya Koo, triggered public backlash against him. However, Agya Koo defended his stance, explaining that his insistence on education came from a desire to secure her future. He noted that Brago is nearly 17 and should prioritize completing school.

He also mentioned his involvement in her academics, including working with her teachers to introduce additional subjects, though he claimed her mother has resisted these efforts.

Agya Koo’s remarks aim to set the record straight, making it clear that he does support his daughter’s ambitions—but believes education must come first.
