Evangelist Lord Kenya has expressed shock about the death of ace highlife artiste Daasebre Gyamena.
Daasebre Gyamena died on Friday July 29 at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra of an illness he battled for a long time.
Reacting to the death of his former colleague artiste, Lord Kenya told Class FM he could not believe the highlife artiste would die before his 50th birthday.
“I am still in a state of shock, what else can I say…? It is so unbelievable that a day will come when a brother is not up to 50 years and he will die. Death is inevitable, no matter what it is going to come, but…he just got sick for a while and today he is gone… It doesn’t make sense but I guess that is what life is all about. To be honest with you, it feels like a dream…” he mourned.
“Two months ago, he promised to visit my church because he heard about what God was doing in my life and he was so excited for me because he knew I was a bad boy, and knowing where God had taken me from, he was happy for me…” the secular musician-now-turned-evangelist added.
Lord Kenya, who featured on Daasebre Gyamena’s 1999 hit song ‘Kokooko’, debunked assertions that he was planning to release a gospel song with the deceased and advised Ghanaians to remember God in their youthful days as death was inevitable.
“We never talked about doing a gospel song together but he was keen on visiting me. We are in the seventh month [of the year] and almost five of our brothers are gone. This is something else, so let us remember our creator in the days of our youth, we should still remember our creator before the end comes,” he emphasised.
