Ghanaian Highlife musician KK Fosu has sparked outrage following his comments about the late blogger John Claude Tamakloe, who tragically passed away in a car accident involving KK Fosu and Bless.
The musicians’ absence from Tamakloe’s funeral last weekend has drawn widespread criticism.
In an interview with Sister Sandy on ADOM TV, KK Fosu claimed he didn’t know Tamakloe, which led to his non-attendance at the funeral. However, this explanation has only fueled further criticism.
Fellow musician Dada Hafco has come to KK Fosu’s defence, urging critics to temper their condemnation.
In a Facebook post, Dada Hafco acknowledged that KK Fosu’s response to his absence at the funeral was inadequate but believes the backlash has been excessive.
“K.K. may not have spoken well, but to say he’s an underground artiste and doesn’t have a hit song bla bla is too far overstretched…I wish he had issued a statement instead of speaking because I know the struggles with K.K.’s communication….
“I believe we can all help him do the needful and do better, but don’t WIPE away what he’s done or achieved….Asɛm na aba ntia,” he wrote.
