Veteran highlife musician Kaakyire Kwame Appiah has dismissed claims that he confirmed the existence of a suicide note left by fellow musician Dada KD before his passing.
According to him the information is false and should be treated with all the contempt that it deserves.
Kaakyire refuted the claims after a widespread reports suggested that he told the media that Dada KD had left a suicide note before his sudden demise.
“I never said Dada KD left a note in his room. That is false information being spread in my name. The police may have retrieved documents from his room for their investigations, but I have no personal knowledge of any suicide note,” he refuted the claims.
Kaakyire further expressed his disappointment in the media, urging the media to uphold ethics in their reportage.
“It’s unfortunate how things can be misquoted or misrepresented in the media. I would never speak carelessly about such a sensitive issue. We need to be careful with our words and the narratives we push. Lives and reputations are at stake,” he said.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation regarding the cause of Dada KD’s death.
Dada KD, born Dada Kwaku Duah, passed away on Friday, May 16, 2025 at the Gbawe SDA Hospital in Accra at the age of 56 after a sudden illness.
Known for timeless highlife hits like “Fatia Fata Nkrumah,” “Odo Mu Anigye,” and “Tekyere Ma,” he was a celebrated figure in Ghanaian music and won Best Male Vocal Artiste at the 2004 Ghana Music Awards UK.
