According to him, his late brother “wasn’t feeling well” and was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday, April 21.

BEATWAVES gathered that the gospel musician had been battling diabetes, and for that reason, had been out of the public’s eye for several years.

Prophet Seth Frimpong was a great musician and may his soul rest in peace, he said.
