"REST IN PEACE MY SOLDIER!! 🫡 LOVE YOU DAD ♥️ still in denial but … You’ve fought a good fight, but God had a different plan. 2025 !!! A year I’ll never forget!! So many ups and downs… one moment everything looks fine, the next moment everything falls apart. The hardest part was grieving while still having to work as a DJ and music producer… NO CHOICE !! … Show up !! Put on a Fake smile, perform at shows and events while dying inside, that was my reality throughout the December period… Getting lost in moments, friends tapping you asking “u good?“ every second… little did they know, man was dying inside. Lost my last man and life’s been HELL since …. I never imagined I would lose all my parents at this age… !!! First my MUM, then my GRANDMA, and now my DAD. Still can’t believe I have to navigate this life with no parents but GOD DEY🙏🏿 I want to sincerely thank the doctors & staff at UGMC and KorleBu for standing with us and fighting from the beginning of 2025 until his final moments. You truly did God’s work, and I’m grateful. 🙏🏿 Lastly, let me say… get close to your parents and cherish every moment with them, because tomorrow is never promised. Create memories and appreciate every second. My Life won’t be the same without them, but I know i got angels watching over me. I’m glad they witnessed the man they raised and how proud I made them feel… I’ll continue to make them proud till my last breath on this earth. SO HELP ME GOD 🙏🏿 REST IN PEACE MY SOLDIER 🫡👊🏾 TILL WE MEET AGAIN.♥️"
