On the same Hitz fm show, host Andy Dosty announced that a son of the musician, called Anthony Kwabena Amoah Ampadu contacted his producer to say the father was not dead but he was rather in critical condition.

Some music industry stakeholders have since been divided over which side they should believe.

The family is yet to make an official statement about the current state of the musician, despite DGN Online has gathered he is indeed dead.
