Darkwah Kyei-Darkwah came out as gay in November 2017 in a publication by the digital magazine intomore.com.
Noting the difficulty in coming out as gay, the son of the celebrated Ghanaian broadcaster said he had gone past that stage and felt no need to conform to anyone’s standards in terms of his sexuality.
He was featured on the website alongside other gay models with African backgrounds, discussing the issues they face as queer people of color.
