Yaw Sarpong's stroke and recovery journey
Before his untimely death, Yaw Sarpong was on a recovery journey following a stroke he suffered in early 2024.
The illness left him bedridden and unable to perform with his Asomafo Band, leading to public appeals for financial assistance to cover his medical expenses.
His health issues drew the attention of former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who visited him at his residence in the Ashanti Region with other prominent New Patriotic Party (NPP) officials and offered financial support.
Months before his death, Yaw Sarpong, who later moved to Bishop J.Y. Adu's residence at Sokoban Ampeyoo in the Atwima Kwanwoma District, was spotted at numerous church events with his musical band.
Following Maame Tiwaa's death, the Bishop shared that the late gospel singer's family had taken him back home for his recuperation.
Doom prophecy on Yaw Sarpong resurfaces
In a doom prophecy he shared on April 4, 2024, Karma President prophesied that the late Yaw Sarpong was struggling spiritually and that tragedy would befall him as he continued his recovery from a stroke at the time.
The self-proclaimed seer claimed that the veteran gospel singer and his family needed to make some sacrifices to prevent his demise.
