Breaking down: this is what Akwasi has to say about his swimming skills in Expeditie Robinson
Look, knowing your own strengths is also a strength. Of course, Akwasi knew he couldn't swim for toffee. But when he had to try it for real in Expeditie Robinson – after the swimming lessons – it turned out to be quite a struggle for him.
Our favorite ‘word artist’ (whatever the hell that still means) writes on his Instagram. “Time for something ugly. On social media, most of what you see is ‘beautiful’, so it's time for something hideously ugly, grotesque, and maybe even scandalous, but who cares. Since yesterday, I've received quite a few videos specifically about my beef with this tiny piece of sea. I thought it wasn't deep. My life flashed before my eyes, haha.” The rapper thought he had practiced enough. “Wrong. I wasn't ready. This was a near-death experience.”
I always get a bit panicky when I see aqua. #expeditierobinson

Fortunately, he can now laugh about it himself. “Finally. Even to the point of rewinding. But at that moment, it was clearly not funny. Ugliness can sometimes be there because it's part of life. And if you dare to face that ugliness, you can taste the beauty. In my case, that beauty was very salty. #hardknocklife #intoodeep #zwemdiplomaB #comingsoon.
What I might love the most is the geo-tag in his post. Where on earth was this snapshot taken? At ‘The Struggle is Real’. Never seen anyone swim so beautifully ugly, Akwasi. Respect.
