In an interview with Kafui Dey, 'Yehowah bɛhwɛ' singer said her sisters, her dad's passing, actually broke him.
"He was on his way to America for a check-up, and then they said it wasn't good. Then my sister called me and said, 'If you want to see your father as you know him, you need to come now.' He hadn't even passed, but that was a difficult season for me. I had to quickly get up, go to town, get a few things I needed and fly to the United States."
Diana Antwi Hamilton said she stayed in America for a week, and it was during that time she spent with her father that her song 'Yehowah bɛhwɛ' came.
"So we spoke, we prayed, we worshiped and I left and came back to London. A few days later, my sister said, 'I think this is it.' We called him, my husband and I on Skype and watched him go."
"We cried, it was difficult, but we were grateful to have had him. We look back, and we know it was a beautiful time, and that is the way a man of God leaves. Surrounded by your children in a time of worship."
