Ghanaians have been reacting with deep emotions after a photo of the one-week observation poster for the late Highlife musician Dada KD surfaced online.
The poster, which has gone viral on social media, confirms that the one-week celebration of the musician’s life will take place on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at 7:00 a.m. at the East Legon Executive Club House in Accra.
The poster features the full name of the musician, Dada Kwaku Duah, with his popular stage name, Dada KD, and indicates that he passed away at the age of 54. It invites all loved ones, fans, and the general public to join the family in honouring the memory of the celebrated musician.
Since the poster appeared online, tributes have been pouring in from fans, celebrities, and the general public. Many Ghanaians have expressed sorrow over the singer’s death, describing him as a legend whose music touched many lives. Social media platforms have been flooded with comments, photos, and video clips of Dada KD’s past performances, as fans relive the beautiful memories he left behind.
Some people who saw the poster said they still find it hard to believe that the Highlife star is gone, especially because he was preparing to perform in London just days before his death. Others have stated that they plan to attend the one-week event to pay their final respects.
Dada KD died on Friday, May 17, 2025. According to reports, he had been unwell and was receiving treatment, but sadly passed away that evening. His death has left a huge gap in the Ghanaian music industry, especially among lovers of Highlife music.
The one-week observation is expected to attract fellow musicians, fans, and key players in the entertainment industry as Ghanaians come together to mourn and celebrate the life of one of their musical greats.
