At the centre of this reflection is the late Maame Tiwaa, whose quiet devotion, according to Bishop J.Y. Adu, came at a high personal cost.
Speaking during an interview on Aluta FM, Bishop J.Y. Adu, founder of New Jerusalem Chapel and a longtime friend of Yaw Sarpong, paid glowing tribute to the late singer, describing her as selfless, misunderstood, and deeply committed to service. His words have since stirred emotions among gospel music lovers across the country.
He explained that Maame Tiwaa remained steadfast by Yaw Sarpong’s side throughout his battle with a stroke, even while carrying her own burdens. Despite facing public scrutiny and private struggles, she continued to provide care, encouragement, and companionship, choosing compassion over comfort.
Bishop J.Y. noted that the late singer endured intense pressure, especially after allegations involving Yaw Sarpong’s ex-wife surfaced on national radio. Those claims, he said, unfairly dragged Maame Tiwaa into public controversy, painting a picture that did not reflect the reality he personally witnessed.

"Yaw Sarpong had girlfriends": Bishop J. Y claims
According to the bishop, the accusations deeply affected Maame Tiwaa, yet she never withdrew her support. As someone who lived closely with both musicians for extended periods, Bishop J.Y. stressed that their relationship was purely professional and familial, likening it to that of siblings bound by music and faith.
He further suggested that the emotional strain, combined with the physical demands of caregiving, may have contributed to Maame Tiwaa’s untimely passing on December 7, 2025. Her death, he said, was not just a personal loss but a spiritual blow to the gospel music fraternity.
Barely seven weeks later, Yaw Sarpong also passed on, compounding the grief within the industry. The near-back-to-back loss of the iconic duo has left a void that many believe will take generations to fill.
As preparations for Yaw Sarpong’s funeral continue, Bishop J.Y.’s reflections serve as a reminder of the unseen sacrifices behind the music that shaped lives, ministries, and memories across Ghana and beyond.
