This clarification comes in the wake of a widely-circulated story published by GHPage TV, which alleged that Kaakyire Kwame Appiah, during a conversation with entertainment personality Ola Michael on Okay FM, confirmed the existence of a note left by Dada KD.
This alleged report sparked a wave of speculation and emotional responses from fans and the general public.
However, in his recent sit-down with SeanCity TV, Kaakyire was unequivocal: “I never said Dada KD left a note in his room, however, the Police retrieved notes in Dada KD’s room to help them in investigations. That is false information being spread in my name, and I need to set the record straight.”
Kaakyire emphasized that while he was deeply saddened by the rumors surrounding Dada KD, he has never claimed to have any personal knowledge or evidence of a suicide note. “It’s unfortunate how things can be misquoted or misrepresented in the media,” he said. “I respect Dada KD and his family, and I would never speak carelessly about such a sensitive issue.”
The veteran artist also used the opportunity to caution the media about the importance of responsible journalism, particularly when dealing with emotionally charged and sensitive matters such as death. “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 about the circumstances surrounding Dada KD’s situation, therefore, Kaakyire Kwame Appiah has made it clear that he is not the source of the viral suicide note claim.
Readers will recall that highlife legend Dada Kwaku Duah, popularly known as Dada KD, passed away on Friday, May 16, 2025, at the age of 56.
The veteran musician died at the Gbawe SDA Hospital in Accra after a sudden illness that left him unable to speak.
Dada KD was renowned for his hit songs like “Fatia Fata Nkrumah,” “Odo Mu Anigye,” and “Tekyere Ma”.
His contributions to highlife earned him accolades, including the Best Male Vocal Artist award at the 2004 Ghana Music Awards UK .
