Ghanaian Highlife artist KK Fosu has addressed the criticism he faced for missing the funeral of blogger John Claude, who died in a car accident in May 2024.

Speaking on Hitz FM on July 22, 2024, KK Fosu expressed his frustration with bloggers who, he claims, failed to check on his well-being while he was recovering from the accident but criticized him for not attending the funeral."None of the bloggers called me to check on me, yet they bashed me for not attending John Claude's funeral. They do not care about the living; they only care about the dead," KK Fosu stated.KK Fosu, who is still receiving treatment for his injuries, asserted that it wasn't necessary for him to attend the funeral given his condition.

He noted that despite his struggles, he and his colleague Bless managed to compose a tribute song for John Claude shortly after being hospitalized.“And then for me to wake up, still on the sickbed and see all these write-ups trying to tarnish my image, do you think I will forgive them?” he said amidst tears.

He criticized bloggers for not showing support during his recovery and instead focusing on his absence from the funeral.

He questioned the level of public awareness about John Claude before his death and suggested that the bloggers who criticized him should have attended the funeral themselves.“Even on our 3rd day after I was hospitalized, we composed a song for the boy. Because nobody knows about John Claude.

“All those trying to rope me into this situation. How many of you people know about John Claude?

“No one knew about John Claude before his death. If for anything at all, it was the bloggers who were supposed to show their love at his funeral,” he said.

In a direct message to critic George Britton, KK Fosu expressed his discontent, implying that such criticism was unwarranted.

The car crash on May 25, 2024, involved KK Fosu, Bless, and John Claude, who tragically lost his life.

Following John Claude's burial on July 19, 2024, KK Fosu and Bless were reproached for their absence from the final rites and the subsequent one-week commemoration.

In response, KK Fosu also challenged Elorm Beenie and others to focus on seeking justice for John Claude, accusing them of using his name for criticism while neglecting to address the issue of the driver responsible for the accident.
