The death of Ghanaian footballer Christian Atsu as a result of the recent earthquake in Turkiye has devastated many Ghanaians and the world at large.
Many people have paid glowing tributes to him since his death, including singer Fameye, who is doing so with a new song, Questions, recorded by sound engineer Liquid Beatz.
Atsu, 31, was discovered dead on Saturday, February 18, 2023, after an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale struck Turkiye on February 6, 2023.
Fameye asks God in the song, which was released yesterday, February 22, why bad things happen to good people.
According to Fameye, the emotional song is not for partying but is a good time for people to reflect on life and how impactful their lives should be.
In an interview with Graphic Showbiz, the Nothing I Get hitmaker described Christian Atsu's death as a painful one for which he had no choice but to write a song in his honor.
"At least, this song will console the family, his friends and the world for the wonderful things he did when he was alive. Indeed, with the death of Christian Atsu, the adage "a good person does not live long" makes more sense to me.
"I was one of the people who hoped he'd be found alive after the incident, but he didn't make it," he said.
