Ghanaian actor and football enthusiast Yaw Dabo has denied claims that his trip to the United States was sponsored by the government or a politician.
According to the Kumawood actor, it was Dr ‘Time Daso’ of Medimafo Herbal Hospital who sponsored his trip to the US by paying for his flight ticket.
Speaking in an interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM on August 10, 2026, Yaw Dabo clarified that his sponsor only covered the cost of his ticket and did not pay for his accommodation or other expenses.
“I heard Dada Santo saying that the government sponsored my trip, but it’s not true. No politician paid for my trip to the US. It’s Dr Time Daso of Medimafo Herbal Hospital who sponsored me,” he said.
He explained that although Dr Time Daso paid for his ticket, he personally took care of other expenses associated with the trip.
“He paid for just my ticket and nothing more. My hotel and other expenses are not included,” Yaw Dabo stated.

The actor also explained that travelling to watch the World Cup is something he has done consistently and is not a recent development.
“Every World Cup season, I travel to watch. Every four years during the World Cup, I say things and they trend,” he shared.
Yaw Dabo insisted that he does not deliberately create content or make statements with the intention of going viral.
“I don’t do that deliberately, but Ghanaians love me, so everything I do or say, they make it a trend,” he noted.
He also recounted how his popularity attracted the attention of former Chelsea and England defender John Terry.
According to Yaw Dabo, his activities around the World Cup helped John Terry realise that he was a popular personality in Ghana.
“They made John Terry realise I’m famous and he approached me. He got my number and called me,” he disclosed.
