\u201cI don\u2019t do anything. I have become a charity case. Right now, we need GHS3,000. That would cover six months\u2019 [rent] advance payment,\u201d he told Emmanuel Agyemang in an interview on Step 1 TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Psalm Adjateyfio, popularly known as TT in the Taxi Driver television series, also said that his impoverished situation is a result of poor working conditions during his active acting days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to TT, most of the producers at that time cheated him and that most of them did not give him his due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey stole his money,\u201d he insisted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
