The late Maame Tiwaa had been renowned for her role as a prominent member of the iconic Yaw Sarpong and Asomafo music group for many years before her death.
Nana Poku Ashis, the manager of the music group, announced the news of Maame Tiwaa's death in an emotional social media post.
The late singer, who was also the caretaker of the ailing Yaw Sarpong, had been actively spotted performing at several events in the weeks leading up to her death.
Kwaku Gyasi attends Tiwaa's one-week observation
In a TikTok video shared by vlogger and event promoter Kofi Poku on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, Kwaku Gyasi wore an all-black outfit as he appeared at Maame Tiwaa's one-week observation with his associates.
The Canadian-based veteran gospel musician looked slimmer and in great physical shape with his shaved beard as he interacted with one of the attendees.
As he neared the entrance of the event venue, it appeared that Kwaku Gyasi was uncomfortable with bloggers constantly filming him.
The Onyame Aseda hitmaker flashed a smile as he instructed vlogger Kofi Poku and other media personnel to film the arrival of his colleague Broda Sammy instead of him.
