Step father of late highlife singer, Kofi B, known privately as Kofi Boakye Yiadom, who died Sunday February 2, 2020, has said that the family is still in shock over the death of their son.
Reacting to the news of his son’s death, the step father said the family had no idea he was sick until they were informed about his death yesterday.
Speaking in an interview with Adom FM, Agya Kwaku Addae said Kofi B visited during the Christmas Holidays, and there was no indication that he was suffering from any ailments. He said he was utterly shocked when the call came through with news that he had passed after complaining of chest pains.
“I was at church when they called me. Kofi was my son even though not biologically, but I married his mum when he was young and he became my son. He was here this Christmas, we didn’t know he was sick. I got the call this morning, I am so sad,” he told Adom News.
Also in a state of shock, Adom Fm reports that Kofi B’s mother said she didn’t believe it when she heard the news. Describing her son as exceptional, she said she never anticipated the news that she got about her son. She said she had plans of speaking to him earlier that day about a conversation they had had, only to receive the devastating news.
“My son was a good man who didn’t have any problems with anyone. I had spoken to him earlier in the week and was going to call him today to follow up on our conversation only to be confronted with this bad news”, she said.
Kofi B died on Sunday 2nd February, 2020, in Cape Coast, after complaining of chest pains. Unconfirmed reports say the musician died of heart attack.
