Quizzed by the host on what necessitated his decision, the respected man of God stated that Maame Pinamang made unfounded allegations against him while he appeared on Oyerepa FM in 2024 to accuse the late musician of infidelity.
He opened up on how Maame Pinamang accused him of being the mastermind behind a ploy to prevent taking the ailing musician to a hospital facility for treatment.
Bishop J.Y. Adu reiterated that the condition of Yaw Sarpong worsened after the estranged wife of the late musician, Maame Pinamang, appeared on Oyerepa FM to accuse him of infidelity.
“When Yaw Sarpong heard Maame Pinamang on Oyerepa TV making those statements, he wept profusely, and that took a toll on his health before he passed.”
Yaw Sarpong died 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.

Ghanaians react to Bishop Adu's stance
Social media users who took to the comment section of the video have varied opinions regarding the decision taken by Bishop J.Y. Adu. Whereas some are siding with him for calling out Maame Pinamang over her actions, many also feel he has no right to determine who is recognised as Yaw Sarpong's widow.
Yaw Dwarkwaa commented:
“The decision taken by Bishop J.Y. Adu is too extreme, and this raises questions as to whether he is truly a man of God. You have no say or right to determine who is recognised as Yaw Sarpong's widow. This statement coming from him is unfortunate.”

“Aaaaaaa, man of God.”
