Okyeame Kwame interacting with Dr Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings
Kwame Nsiah-Apau, alias Okyeame Kwame, has mourned the passing of former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings.
In a Facebook post on Thursday, October 30, 2025, the rapper and singer-songwriter shared photos from when he and his family visited the Ridge residence of the Rawlings’ to commiserate with them.
OK, as he is sometimes called, penned a moving eulogy to Agyeman-Rawlings as caption.
He underlined her strength and said she was a glowing example he was proud to point to whenever he encouraged girls who were evaluating their suitors.
The Hiplife icon emphasised his appreciation of the grave moment the Agyeman-Rawlings children were in, given that their patriarch, former President Jerry John Rawlings, passed in 2020, and now their matriarch had joined him.
He admitted he did not know what he would do were his mother to join his late father.
Okyeame Kwame highlighted his grief when he revealed he could not muster words of condolence for the Agyeman-Rawlings who, apparently, recognised him as a son of their mother.
The decorated musician assured his words would be saved for a tribute song to be released soon.
“My father died a long time ago and I still cry sometimes because I miss him dearly,” OK wrote.
“My mother is still alive, but I know that no amount of meditation and mindfulness can prepare me for her departure.”
He said, “When I visited the Rawling’s Family, I couldn’t say any words of encouragement cos I know their pain goes deeper than my words.
“Awwww, awww, ohhhhh!” he cried, remembering: “Mrs Agyemang Konadu was so strong. She was so full of life and smiles. She was that example I could point to when I was telling young girls to see the potential in men instead of their cash and power. She was a powerhouse of strength, patience and dedication.”
“I have lost a Mum and a motivator,” he grieved, emphasising: “Ghana, due due due [woe, woe, woe].”
“When I greeted her youngest daughter she said, ‘Mummy’s other Son’. I couldn’t hold my tears back,” the author noted.
“I will put my pain in a song for such a great woman,” he promised, praying: “Da yie [rest in peace]!”
Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings passed on October 23, at Ridge Hospital, Accra. She was 76.
