Dr UN, whose real name is Kwame Owusu Fordjour, has fired a warning shot at those who continue to label his award scheme as fake, vowing that he will no longer put up with the allegations. Six years after the controversy surrounding the awards, Dr UN declares he has had enough of being connected to the claims that he handed out fraudulent accolades.
During a fiery defense on a radio show, he criticized journalists and ordinary citizens for making accusations without doing their homework and encouraged them to learn the facts before questioning the legitimacy of his project. “Life is progressing and I am sick of hearing this ‘fake award’ nonsense. It’s unjust that journalists don’t bother to do their research,” he declared.
He felt the ongoing claims were unfair and was ready to take legal action against anyone who repeated them. “This is the time to unleash on all those who throw accusations at me. Six years have passed and I am still hearing that. Stop the nonsense and educate yourselves. I will not tolerate anyone saying that to me again,” he added.
Dr UN challenged his detractors to back up their accusations with proof or face him in court if they are so certain he handed out fake awards. The fallout over Dr UN began in 2020 when he rose to prominence over the Global Blueprint Excellence Award, an event that quickly went viral after it emerged that the awards bore no official link to the United Nations or the Kofi Annan Foundation as he had falsely proclaimed.
He subsequently defended the initiative, insisting it was organized by his own group and not an actual United Nations award needing direct approval from the organization’s headquarters in New York. He also disputed the way the abbreviation “UN” was being interpreted, arguing it could signify different entities beyond the United Nations.
Dr UN stood by the honorees of the event, accusing critics of trying to undermine his efforts. His recent remarks indicate that the controversy, which initially thrust him into the public eye, is still a thorn in his side, even six years after the awards ceremony.
