Media personality, Nana Romeo
As tributes continue to pour in across social media following the death of Ghanaian Highlife legend Dada KD, new details have emerged about the artiste’s final days.
In a phone interview with Zion Felix, popular media personality Nana Romeo revealed that the “Somu Gye” hitmaker was silently enduring deep emotional and financial struggles, despite appearing physically healthy and actively preparing for an upcoming concert in London.
“He looked fit. He never complained of any illness. In fact, he was on my radio show recently and appeared completely fine. But when you spoke to him privately, you’d realise he wasn’t a happy man. Financially, psychologically, emotionally, he was going through a lot,” Nana Romeo said.
He recounted how he received the heartbreaking news, explaining that he first noticed online posts with captions like “Rest in Peace” and questions about whether Dada KD had died. Concerned, he reached out to the artiste’s manager for confirmation.
“The manager was broken, and there were tears in her voice. She confirmed that when she got to Dada KD’s home, he wasn’t talking or responsive. He was rushed to the Gbawe Hospital but sadly passed away that evening,” he recalled.
The radio host added that preparations were actively underway for Dada KD’s UK performance, which was scheduled for the following week.
“We were seriously working on it. Everything was in motion,” he said.
The official cause of death remains unknown, as the musician’s management and family are currently awaiting a full medical report.
Nana Romeo expressed his deepest condolences to Dada KD’s family, fans, and the Ghanaian music industry, stating that the musical icon’s contributions to Highlife will not be forgotten.
