On Thursday, December 18, 2025, the veteran musician took to his official TikTok page to share photos from the accident scene.
Adangba, who recently characterised Black Sherif's songs as 'noisy' in an interview with media personality Roselyn Felli on Joy Prime TV's 'Changes' show, did not specify the date or circumstances that led to the unfortunate incident.
However, it appears the accident happened while he was driving on the streets late in the evening.
The photos showed Adangba's 2023-registered silver Kia Optima mid-size Sedan or Kia 5, badly damaged beyond repair on the streets after the accident.
The bonnet, bumper, and headlights of the highlife singer's luxurious vehicle were mangled, with fluids leaking on the road. Some pedestrians were also seen around the vehicle.
In a message that accompanied the photos, Adangba shared that he was alive but was not in good physical condition after the accident.
He wrote:
"I am still alive but not too good."
In a subsequent TikTok post, the veteran musician called on Ghanaians to pray for him as he battled for his life after surviving the accident with severe injuries.
Adangba's accident comes days before his highly anticipated "Adangba Legacy Music Festival" concert, which was set to be held at the Paga Town Park on Sunday, December 21, 2025. It remains to be seen whether the event will go on as scheduled.

Who is Michael Adangba?
Michael Adangba is a veteran highlife musician from the Upper Region of Ghana, who rose to prominence with his song, Banga Wegoo, the previous official soundtrack for TV3's Ghana's Most Beautiful pageant show.
In 2012, he composed the hit campaign song, Taka Tika, for President John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the general elections.
In a 2024 interview with Bolgatanga-based radio station A1 Radio, Adangba accused Media General, owners of TV3 of using his song for their pageant since 2009 without his consent and failing to reach an agreement with him.
He alleged that the media company initially claimed that they believed the song was of Malian origin after he approached them.
Adangba claimed that despite Media General promising to offer him three minutes of promotional airtime for his songs, they rejected all the songs he submitted and ceased to use the Ghana's Most Beautiful pageant show soundtrack in 2023.
In 2024, he released a song titled "Mapeneso" to thank God after having successful open-heart surgery at the Mediclinic Morningside, a private medical facility in Johannesburg, South Africa. He had been diagnosed with Cardiomegaly, or an enlarged heart.
Renowned Ghanaian businessman and younger brother of President Mahama, Ibrahim Mahama, assisted him financially all through his treatment and the surgery.
In August 2025, the veteran highlife singer lost his mother, Mama Kojetina, who died at the age of 83 after a short illness.
