KODA passed away after his battle with G6PD deficiency. After KODA's passing, a video of him complaining about how certain health professionals at an unnamed Takoradi hospital directed him to take the wrong medications as a G6PD deficient patient surfaced online.

Despite the outrage online from fans, his family have yet to publicly reply to the video. On social media, Ohemaa Woyeje said,

"So 'Yesu adi nkunim' in ds circumstance? Is that not degrading to God? Why do we make God look bad in unfortunate situations? A 45year old man (KODA) died leaving a wife and children… apparently took wrong medications for 8months and we say 'Yesu adi nkunim' is that a praise to God or mockery? Can there be a better expression rather than this misrepresentation? 💭 (normal life expectancy is age 70+)."
