Earlier on, KK Fosu had responded to criticism regarding his absence from the funeral of publicist John Claude Tamakloe, who passed away a few weeks ago, in the accident involving KK Fosu and 'Chocho Mucho' singer K Bless.
KK Fosu and K Bless, had since the incident, come under flak for not calling on phone the family of the deceased to commiserate with them or attending the funeral which was held on Saturday, July 20, 2024.
Some friends of John Claude Tamakloe including Eric Toscar, Elorm Beenie and music producer JMJ, took to social media during the weekend to register their displeasure at the situation.
However, speaking to DJ Slim on Hitz FM, KK Fosu said he was not given prior notice of the funeral. He also indicated that he had not fully recovered from injuries he sustained from the accident.
The 'Anadwo Yede' singer added that he was also disappointed in the family of Claude who were only concerned about his inability to attend the one week observance ceremony of the deceased publicist and not about his state of health and K Bless's.
"I didn't know about his funeral. None of the family members told us about it. I also sustained injuries and I am still receiving treatment. So it was not compulsory for me to attend the funeral. I was not the one that killed the boy. It was just nice if we all came together but if you are angry with me, I don't know what will happen to me I come to you. I would never allow any of my team members to represent me," he said.
He also mentioned that contrary to comments that he took Claude to the event, he only met the deceased on their way to the said event.
The accident occurred on Saturday, May 25, 2024, on the Accra-Apam Highway road when KK Fosu, K Bless, Claude and others were going for a wedding event.
John Claude Tamakloe was laid to rest at Tema Community 2 on July 19, 2024.
