Multiple award winner and ace gospel musician, Sonnie Badu, has dispelled rumours that he is dead.
A statement from Sonnie Badu’s outfit urged his fans to disregard such reports from persons he described as “unscrupulous bloggers.”
“The singer is alive and well in Australia where he is on a preaching assignment,” the statement added.
Reports of the death of the musician went viral in the Ghanaian blogging space over the weekend.
The statement clarified that, Sonnie Badu was rushed to the hospital on Sunday, February 26, 2017, but was discharged two hours later.
“News of the singer went viral on Sunday, 26th February, 2017, from his Instagram and management account entreating all to bear with him up in prayer as he had an emergency and was at the hospital. After about two hours, his fans were updated that he was well and has been discharged from the hospital and this led to publications of his death,” the statement explained.
