“Women Spread Their Cloths For Me To Drive Over” – Kaakyire Kwame Appiah Reminisces About His Peak Fame

Kaakyire Kwame Appiah has shared a nostalgic memory from his glory days, recalling how devoted female fans once laid their cloths on the road for him to drive over in admiration.

Speaking in an interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM, the veteran musician said he could name several towns across Ghana where women performed this remarkable gesture.

“Women used to spread their cloths for me to drive over. I can list many towns in Ghana that did that for me. They did it because my song ‘24th’ brought their children from abroad back to Ghana,” he recounted.

Kaakyire explained that the song “24th” was inspired by the yearly tradition of Ghanaians traveling home for Christmas. Its powerful message resonated so deeply that many families reunited after decades apart.

“Some of these children had been away for 20 to 30 years, and my song was their way of bringing them home, so this was their way of appreciating me. At that time, there was no social media or all that stuff, otherwise I would have trended a lot,” he added with a laugh.

According to Kaakyire, the love he received for “24th” remains one of the most touching moments of his career, a reminder of how music once connected Ghanaians across distances long before the social media era.

Fredyma Reveals What Daddy Lumba Told Him After Appearing In His Dream

Ghanaian music producer Fred Kyei Mensah, widely known as Fredyma, says the spirit of Daddy Lumba appeared to him in a dream and gave him a mission to confront a media figure tarnishing the musician’s name.

Sharing the experience on Onua ShowTime, Fredyma recounted seeing Lumba standing before his studio, clothed entirely in white.

“Lumba appeared in my dream one day. He was standing in front of my studio, dressed in all white. He mentioned someone’s name and said that person was in the media tarnishing his image over a certain issue. He told me to go and warn the person to stop,” Fredyma recalled.

He said Lumba identified a particular individual spreading false claims about his passport issue, distorting the truth about the singer’s personal story.

Fredyma expressed concern about how events surrounding Lumba’s death are being handled, saying social media has become a breeding ground for misinformation instead of honouring the musician’s life and legacy.

Daddy Lumba passed away on July 26, 2025, at the Bank Hospital in Accra. His burial, originally planned for December 6, 2025, has been postponed.

Following a meeting at the Otumfuo Saamanhene Palace on November 10, 2025, the Manhyia Palace announced that the final funeral rites will now take place on December 13, 2025. A new funeral committee, chaired by Dadiesoabahene, was formed to coordinate the arrangements.

Meanwhile, Lumba’s elder sister, Ernestina Fosu, has called for a postmortem, raising concerns about possible foul play. She asked that the funeral be delayed until the results determine the true cause of her brother’s death.

Odo Broni’s Supporters Hold Emotional Prayer Session After Manhyia Ruling On Daddy Lumba’s Funeral Dispute

Supporters of Odo Broni, the second wife of the late Ghanaian highlife legend Daddy Lumba, have expressed their disappointment following the Manhyia Palace’s ruling on the ongoing family feud surrounding the musician’s funeral arrangements.

On Monday, November 10, 2025, the late singer’s elder sister, Ernestina Fosu, and Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu appeared before Otumfuo Osei Tutu II’s sub-chiefs at the Manhyia Palace for the third time within days, as part of the Palace’s intervention in the escalating family dispute.

The closed-door session, presided over by several prominent chiefs including Otumfuo’s linguist, Baffour Kantankrakye, ended with significant rulings that reshaped the direction of the late musician’s final rites.

Among the key decisions, the funeral date was postponed from December 6 to December 13, 2025, while the funeral committee led by Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu was dissolved.

The chiefs also granted Ernestina and other family members permission to conduct a new autopsy on the late singer’s body — a demand they had long insisted on amid allegations of foul play.

The ruling reportedly left supporters of Odo Broni, who had sided with the Abusuapanin throughout the dispute, heartbroken.

Later that night, during a TikTok live session, the group — led by outspoken evangelist and social media personality Freda Afriyie — held a prayer and worship session to express their grief and seek divine intervention.

In emotional scenes, participants were seen praying, singing solemn hymns, and calling on God to restore peace and justice.

Freda Afriyie, who has been one of Odo Broni’s most vocal defenders online, broke down in tears during the live broadcast, lamenting what she described as an unfair outcome.

The emotional gathering underscored the deep divisions within the Lumba family and their supporters, as tensions over funeral rights and decision-making continue to unfold in public view.

Sarkodie Announces Rapperholic Is Heading To London Next Year

Ghana’s biggest rap spectacle, Rapperholic, is set to make its international debut in London next year. Sarkodie has confirmed that the 2026 edition of his annual concert will be staged in the UK, a first in the show’s more than decade-long history.

The rapper made the announcement on November 9, 2025, during Fameye’s London concert, where he surprised fans with the news and hinted that he plans to bring an all-star lineup to the British capital.

“Next year, we are bringing Rapperholic here. You’re going to see Sarkodie, Black Sherif, Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, R2Bees,” Sarkodie said, drawing cheers from the crowd.

The London debut follows a historic milestone earlier in 2025 when Sarkodie moved Rapperholic from its longtime home in Accra to Kumasi for a special “Homecoming” edition.

Held on September 27 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, the Kumasi concert was more than a show, it was a celebration of Sarkodie’s roots. In the weeks leading up to it, the city was electric. Posters filled the streets, rehearsal clips went viral, and excitement spread across social media. Sarkodie amplified the buzz by paying tribute to the Asantehene and joining fans for a massive health walk through the city.

When the big night arrived, heavy rains couldn’t dampen the energy. Fans poured into the stadium hours early, singing and dancing through the downpour as DJs and hype men kept spirits high.

The concert began with performances from emerging acts like Hindu and Kweku Bany, paving the way for crowd favourites Efya, Kweku Smoke, Kweku Flick, and Oseikrom Sikani before Sarkodie took the stage for his long-awaited return.

Gospel Music Should Be Joyful, Not Make People Cry – Broda Sammy

Ghanaian gospel singer Broda Sammy has called for a shift in the way gospel music is created. He urged artistes to focus on joy rather than sorrow.

During an interview with Okay FM on November 10, 2025, he criticized the current trend of gospel songs designed to make listeners cry.

“Gospel music is composed in such a way that it makes people cry. Go to the comments section of most gospel songs, and the people say that they were crying. But why must it be like that?” he questioned.

Broda Sammy compared gospel events with secular entertainment, noting that concerts like Rapperholic or ShattaFest are crafted to excite and energize audiences.

“But the way we have chosen to showcase Christianity is as something that we have to be somber all the time. No, we have to be happy as well.

“When people buy tickets to attend Rapperholic or ShattaFest, they are not buying to go and cry. They are going to go and be happy,” he explained.

He added that the Bible encourages joy, insisting that gospel music should follow the same principle. “Even the Bible says to always rejoice. So gospel music should be about rejoicing, not always about crying,” Broda Sammy said.

Kaakyire Kwame Appiah has proudly disclosed that he is the father of eighteen children with nine women, saying he sees no reason to conceal that truth.

Speaking on Okay FM with Nana Romeo, the popular highlife musician acknowledged that his revelation could stir criticism but maintained that he prefers honesty about his personal life.

“I have 18 children with nine different women. I know people will bash me, but honestly, what do you gain by hiding something that’s already there? All my children know each other. When you see how united they are, you’d even think they came from one woman. The youngest is four months old,” he said.
