Renowned Ghanaian Rapper, Solomon Adu Antwi, professionally known as Yaa Pono has lost his dad.
The festive celebrations took an
unexpected turn for the ‘Obia Wo Ne Master’ hitmaker and his family on Xmas day
as he announced the death of his father, Mr Adu Antwi via an X (Formally
twitter) post today, December 28, 2023.
”Really hard 4 uptown losing my Dad on a Christmas
Day .Jah guide you on your journey,,,Mr Adu Antwi ..,” he wrote.
It will be recalled that the popular crooner, in an
interview on Angel FM in 2022 stated that his father has been instrumental in
his rise to fame, without whom he could not have achieved the feat. Yaa Pono
averred that his father broke his back to become the responsible man he has
been over the years as a parent.
“My father is everything to me, and he has bestowed
everything he has on me. He picked me up and drove me to where I am now, for
which I am grateful.”
The rap icon thus released the song “Yegya” from the “Sovran” album to
express gratitude to his father for all that he has done for him saying “if I
were my dad, I wouldn’t have survived”.
