Speaking on his demise, Akosua Agyepong said that there were some delays that affected the delivery of healthcare to the man.

"The ambulance didn’t get here early. We went to the Achimota Hospital and we were informed that the doctor was asleep. So when he was taken to the new hospital at Legon, the doctors tried all they could but he couldn’t survive," she said.

Akosua Agyepong said she was supposed to release a song with the legend but because of her work schedule, they rarely got to work together.

She stated that she will always remember the musician, especially, by his performances and persona.
