Nana Ama McBrown has stepped forward to play a central role in honouring the memory of popular TikToker Elvis Frimpong, widely known as Osanju.
During a live TikTok on September 7, 2025, the actress and television host pledged her full support to Osanju’s family as they prepare for his final funeral rites. Referring to the late influencer as her “boyfriend,” McBrown said she felt a personal duty to ensure a dignified farewell.
“This burial rite is centered around me because I am the widow. I haven’t been able to speak to Osanju’s father, but when he (Osanju) was alive, he told me that he didn’t want any flashy or big funeral when he passed on, so I will make sure to give him what his heart desires,” she said.
McBrown stressed that the upcoming rites are meant to aid the bereaved rather than provide entertainment. “This is not a funeral for merry-making. Everyone attending should come with the mindset of supporting the family. Osanju’s father is not financially sound, so no one should expect food or transport money,” she stressed.
Her announcement follows an outpouring of grief on social media after Osanju’s unexpected death on September 1, 2025, following a prolonged battle with leukemia, a condition he had openly discussed with his online followers. Many were shocked by the news, as the influencer had appeared active only a day earlier, watching Barcelona’s clash with Rayo Vallecano on August 31.

Before his death, Osanju’s revelation about his illness earned widespread empathy and admiration. Earlier this year, he shared his journey on McBrown’s Onua Showtime program, giving fans a glimpse into his resilience and positive outlook despite his condition.
McBrown explained that the funeral arrangements are also an effort to support Osanju’s father, who has faced additional hardship after the recent death of his wife. By keeping the ceremony modest, she hopes to fulfill Osanju’s wishes while rallying meaningful support for his surviving family.
Osanju’s funeral will be held on October 4, 2025, at Atwima Koforidua in the Ashanti Region.
