In a egregious display of disrespect, Ghanaian musicians KK Fosu and Bless have come under intense scrutiny for their conspicuous absence at the private burial of the late Ghanaian blogger, John Claude Tamakloe. The funeral ceremony, held on July 20, was attended by a plethora of colleagues and professionals from the music industry, all of whom had gathered to bid their final farewells and pay their respects to the deceased. However, the two musicians in question were glaringly absent, their non-attendance sparking a maelstrom of outrage and indignation.
This egregious omission is all the more galling given the fact that KK Fosu and Bless were involved in a car accident with Tamakloe in the past, a tragic incident that ultimately resulted in his untimely demise. In light of this, their failure to attend the funeral has been perceived as a callous and insensitive slight, one that has left many in the music community aghast. George Britton, CEO of Revolve Music, was quick to express his disappointment and dismay on Facebook, astutely observing that the duo could have at least sent a representative to pay their respects, thus mitigating the perceived disrespect.
The fallout from this incident has raised fundamental questions regarding the musicians’ commitment to demonstrating respect and solidarity in times of grief. Fans and colleagues alike are vociferously demanding an explanation or apology from KK Fosu and Bless for their no-show, their ire and disappointment palpable. As the pressure mounts, it remains to be seen whether the duo will respond to the criticism, or if this incident will indelibly tarnish their reputations, casting a pall of controversy over their future endeavors. Only time will tell if they will take steps to rectify this egregious error in judgment.
