Shedding more light on this, Bishop J. Y. Adu, who once took care of Yaw Sarpong at his Sokoban Ampayoo residence in the Atwima Kwanwoma District of the Ashanti Region, stated that the musician was massively affected anytime he heard discussions about his marriage on the radio.
“The accusations that were made against him were untrue. Ever since they went to Oyerepa FM to peddle falsehoods about him, that is what escalated his medical condition.
"He was okay and was even singing, and I have videos to prove it. But when he heard discussions about himself on radio, that is when his sickness worsened. So when his condition became severe, he lost his memory.”
Bishop J. Y. Adu also lamented the other actions of Yaw Sarpong’s family, claiming they even reported him to Manhyia.
Yaw Sarpong passed away on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, at the age of 66 at the Emena Hospital in Kumasi, where he had been receiving treatment for the past few weeks.
