Under his caption, he shared photos from when he and his family visited the Ridge residence of the Rawlings' to commiserate with them.

The Rap Doctor highlighted Nana Konadu's strength and stated that she was a glowing example he was proud to point to whenever he encouraged girls of marriageable age, and in some cases, while advising them on how to be a good wife.

"Mrs Agyemang Konadu was so strong. She was so full of life and smiles. She was that example I could point to when I was telling young girls to see the potential in men instead of their cash and power," he captioned.

Okyeame Kwame highlighted his sorrow when he shared how he could not muster words of condolence for the Agyeman-Rawlings, who, he claimed, recognised him as a son of their mother.

Finally, he gave an assurance that his words would be saved for a tribute song, which he would release soon.

In his words:

"When I greeted her youngest daughter, she said, “Mummy’s other Son.” I couldn’t hold my tears back. I will put my pain in a song for such a great woman. Da yie!"
