Gospel artist and pastor Nana Yaw Boakye, widely known as MOGmusic, has disclosed that he lost his 7-month-old baby to still birth and had to carry him in the trunk of his car at night looking for a mortuary.

The musician, who also serves as Music Director at Royal House Chapel, recounted this experience on the show Just Being Us with MzGee.

He explained that after the doctor confirmed his child had passed away in the womb, he was told to locate a cemetery on his own since the facility lacked a mortuary.

“Here is what happened: we were ready to go, and the doctor said, unfortunately, the hospital does not have a mortuary and does not have a place to handle the deceased baby. We would have to take the baby in a box to a cemetery and dispose of the body ourselves. So, they placed the baby in a box for us.”

Accompanied by his family, MOGmusic had no choice but to follow the hospital's directive. His lifeless child was placed in a box and handed to him.

“I had to open the trunk, place the lifeless body inside, close it, and drive off. When we got home, I gave my car to my mother, who took the body to the mortuary. They issued the death certificate, and then we went to bury the child.”

After the burial, MOGmusic faced the challenge of explaining to family and friends why the baby was not present, as many were expecting the arrival of the child.

“Dealing with this reality was difficult. At around 7 months, the pregnancy is noticeable, and people are expecting to hear news about the baby’s arrival. It was very hard for us. My work as a musician and music director means that everyone knew my wife was pregnant, so they were expecting a baby.”
