Ghanaian highlife musician, Kaakyire Kwame Fosu, affectionately called KK Fosu has expressed regrets over insensitive comments passed about late Blogger, John Claude Tamakloe.
John Claude Tamakloe who was travelling in the company of KK Fosu, and K Bless lost his life after they were involved in an accident on the Accra-Apam road on Saturday, May 25, 2024.
KK Fosu and K Bless, who were accused of being ingrate for failing to attend the funeral of John Claude, expressed their dissatisfaction about the tag.
Incensed by the public backlash, KK Fosu belligerently fired back at critics, which led to the passing of some comments described as insensitive and self-centred.
Against this backdrop, the musician has rendered an unqualified apology to John Claud’s family and Ghanaians.
His statement noted “I want to take this opportunity to directly address the recent events and the public backlash regarding my absence from the funeral of the late Jean Claude Tamakloe, who tragically passed away in the recent Accra-Apam highway accident.”
“First and foremost, I extend my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased. This loss is deeply felt, and my thoughts and prayers are with you during this incredibly difficult time,” he added.
Additionally, he tried to clarify some misunderstandings that had arisen, adding that his team intended to attend the one-week observation of the deceased, however, they learnt that “the family was unhappy with me because they believed their son was travelling with me at the time of the accident.”
Although they were in the same car, that was the first time he saw him or talked to him, adding that this misinformation has caused further pain, and regretted any distress this had caused the family.
“Earlier today, I was interviewed by Hitz FM’s Deejay Slim, and during the interview, I became overwhelmed with emotions explained that my absence from the funeral was due to two main reasons: the deceased was not personally known to me, and I am still in the process of recuperating from the injuries I sustained in the accident,” he revealed.
According to him, his caregivers have advised against travel and attending public gatherings as part of my recovery process.
“Unfortunately, my emotions got the better of me, leading to an outburst that I deeply regret. This outburst was fueled by my feeling that people were not truly concerned about my state of health,” he said.
‘I understand that my reaction was inappropriate, and I am sincerely sorry for any hurt or distress it caused. I am committed to reaching out personally to the family of the deceased to offer my condolences and support,” he said.
He further urged the Ghana Police to expedite investigations into the unfortunate accident so all parties would be appeased amicably.
“I hope we can all find a way to heal and move forward together during this challenging time. Thank you for your understanding, support and patience,” the statement concluded.
