High Life Star Kofi B Dies After Complains Of Heart Ache

Kofi

Highlife musician Kofi B, who is best known for his silky voice, has passed on.
He died on Sunday, February 2 at about 3:00 am at Abease Dominase in the Central Region, where he went to perform at a birthday party of a chief in the area.
Fellow musician Kofi Nti, who was with him at the time the incident occurred, confirmed his unfortunate death on Sunday. He told Accra-based Peace FMthat Kofi B complained of “heartache” before he died.
Other media reports said that he went to knock on Kofi Nti’s hotel room door to beg him to take him to the hospital, but didn’t survive.
“Kofi B was screaming at me because he wanted to rush to the hospital but passed out when I returned with the key. I quickly rushed him to the hospital where he began vomiting,” Kofi Nti told Adom FM.
According to him, the ‘Mmobrowa’hitmaker was restless and struggled to breathe when they got to the Abease Dominase Hospital.
“Kofi B was restless so I had to hold him so that the doctors can work on him when he finally gave up the ghost,” he revealed.
Born Kofi Boakye Yiadom, Kofi B was known as one of Ghana’s amazing contemporary highlife musicians who stayed true to the rudiments of the genre.
He came to the limelight with his solemn and thought-provoking hit song ‘Mmobrowa’.
He had always wanted to be a lawyer and felt he happened to be in music by chance even though his family has a liking for music.
He was inspired by Amakye Dede, Kojo Antwi, Ofori Amponsah and the late Opampuo.
Some of his popular songs include ‘Twa Me Keke’, ‘Mmobrowa’, ‘Aserewa’, ‘Koforidua Flowers’, ‘Sika Dwa’, ‘Belinda’and ‘Akua Ataa’. He has also won awards with his music.
His death came as a shock to many. A number of Ghanaians took to their social media platforms on Sunday to express their condolences.
Music producer Fred Kyei Mensah described him as great talent. “This week has been a bad week for me. Have lost two talents. Rest well Kofi Boakye alias Kofi Bee. #Blackweek,” he wrote on Facebook.
“Kofi B was more than a musician I managed; he was family to me….May he Rest In Peace,” KOD also wrote Facebook.
Very sad to hear of the passing of one of the most talented musicians I managed from day one. Kofi B was an exceptionally talented musician and it was a delight spending time with him in the studio with Ofori Amponsah at the turn of the last millennium. Sleep well B,” KOD also added in a tweet.
