KayBlez speaks about KK Fosu's saga

According to the Chochomucho hitmaker, the late blogger was a friend of Nana Obiri Yeboah, who was driving before the accident. He clarified that the driver was the brain behind the gig, saying in a recent interview:

"Nana Obiri Yeboah went to pick up John Claude at home and later came to pick me up. When they came, I realised KK Fosu was already in the car. From their conversation, I could tell they were meeting for the first time."

The highlife star lamented at how bloggers had turned on KK Fosu, who shared some callous remarks about the late blogger.

He also criticised Nana Obiri Yeboah, whom they had taken as a father figure, for keeping mute as bloggers spread misconceptions about him and KK Fosu.

Bloggers Association's boss addresses KK Fosu's remarks

Despite KayBlez's clarification, the President of the Ghana Bloggers Association maintains that KK Fosu's remarks about their late esteemed colleague were distasteful. He spoke on the issue with YEN.com.gh, saying:

"K.K. Fosu's recent behaviour does not reflect the maturity and stature typically associated with a legend. However, it's important to consider that many Ghanaian musicians, including him, could benefit from effective management and public relations support, especially during challenging times like this.

"The absence of strong management and PR often leaves artists vulnerable in bad times, as seen in the recent issues surrounding Kumawood actor Lil Win. The handling of such situations highlights the critical role that adept communication and strategic management play in maintaining an artist's reputation and navigating crises."
