Qwaachi, musician and father of award-winning music star Foto Copy, announced the news of Hajia's untimely demise in an emotional video on his official TikTok page.
The exact cause of her death remains unknown, although some rumours have suggested that she died under painful circumstances.
In his video, Qwaachi broke down in tears as he speculated about the probable cause of her death and advised Ghanaians to be careful about their associations with people.
He noted that he was completely heartbroken over the death of Hajia 40-40, as she left behind a young child.
In another video, Qwaachi questioned the actions of an individual allegedly complicit in the demise of the Ghanaian businesswoman.
He noted that the deceased had been facing several challenges and had remained silent about them, with only a few close associates aware of her situation before her tragic demise.
Foto Copy's father stated that Hajia 40-40 had been using commercial vehicles as her mode of transportation instead of her personal car because of some financial issues.
He said:
"The poor girl was battling a lot. A lot of you did not know. Hajia was really going through a lot. She was just not saying it. She only confided in a few selected people. How many of you knew that she was even picking a taxi and a trotro at a point in time?
"She died a painful death because she was suffering. Hajia was at her lowest moment. You didn't even consider the baby. I am even sad. I can't even close my eyes and sleep. She was battling so many things and was not telling anybody."
Aside from Qwaachi, other associates of Hajia 40-40 also shared emotional social media posts to mourn her tragic demise.
