Highlife musicians KK Fosu and Bless are facing criticism for their absence at the funeral of Ghanaian blogger and publicist John Claude Tamakloe.
Many are expressing disappointment and questioning their reasons for not paying their last respects to the late Tamakloe, who was a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. The snub has sparked debate, with some fans and colleagues expecting more empathy and support from the musicians.
On Friday, July 19, 2024, a solemn farewell ceremony was held at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Tema Community 2, to bid farewell to the late John Claude Tamakloe.
The service was a gathering of loved ones, friends, and fellow bloggers, who came to pay their respects and celebrate his life. The church was filled with somber reflections, warm tributes, and heartfelt prayers, as they said their final goodbyes to the departed blogger and publicist.
The notable absence of the two artists sparked controversy, with some media personalities and fans expressing disapproval, as they were involved in the accident leading to Claude’s death, despite both having suffered broken legs during the incident.
According to a Facebook post by influencer Eric Toscar, a friend called KK Fosu’s manager to check if they were on their way to the funeral. The manager reportedly questioned why the friend hadn’t reminded him of the event the day before, suggesting that the artists did not attend.
The accident that led to Claude’s death occurred on Saturday, May 25, 2024, while he was en route with both singers to perform at a wedding ceremony. Nana Obiri Yeboah, the driver of their Toyota Camry, reported that their car collided head-on with a Benz. The Benz driver was attempting to overtake another vehicle when the crash happened.
John Claude, the chief editor at Beeniewords.com, was celebrated for his significant contributions to public relations and artist development, working with renowned names such as Grammy-winning Morgan Heritage, Rocky Dawuni, Stephanie Benson and Sarkodie, among others.
