This is contained in a report sighted by YEN.com.gh on Ghanacelebrities.com.
According to the uncle, some people went on to produce items branded in the name and image of their son for sale during the observance of his one-week memorial.
This, he said, made the family so angry that it would not tolerate it if the same should happen during Kofi B’s funeral.
He added that anyone who flouts this rule and enriches himself with the funeral will be made to face the full rigours of the law.
Meanwhile, Kofi B, known in real life as Kofi Boakye Yiadom, died on February 2, 2020, following a sudden heart attack in Cape Coast, where he had gone to perform. He was rushed to the hospital by his friend and colleague musician Kofi Nti.
