Reflecting on his deep bond with Dada KD, Kaakyire Kwame Appiah described his late friend as a brother. The two shared a significant friendship, often referring to each other in familial terms.

Kaakyire continued, recalling that Dada KD had shown no serious signs of illness before his passing, merely suffering from a common cold.

"KD and I have always been very close friends, like brothers. Whenever I travel to Germany, I stay at his home. I was entrusted with naming all his children because when his wife gave birth, he wasn't around. In a sense, I’ve been an integral part of his family."

"He wasn’t gravely ill; I only knew that he had a cold," he added, clearly shaken by the loss.
