Dada KD’s Funeral Rescheduled for September 6

 

The family of the late Ghanaian highlife musician, Dada Kwaku Duah, popularly known as Dada KD, has announced a new date for his funeral, which is now scheduled to take place on Saturday, September 6, 2025, as revealed during their visit to Despite Media on August 6, 2025.

This change follows an initial announcement that the funeral would be held on August 16, 2025, with a state-assisted burial at the Forecourt of the State House in Accra.

However, musician Kaakyire Kwame Appiah, speaking on behalf of the family, confirmed that the laying in state will now take place on September 6 at the same venue—the Forecourt of the State House.

The burial and final thanksgiving service will follow on Sunday, September 7, 2025, at Agona Asamang in the Ashanti Region, rather than the previously stated location of Agona Asaaman in the Central Region.

The funeral is expected to draw many mourners, including dignitaries, fellow musicians, industry stakeholders, and fans, in honour of Dada KD’s contributions to Ghanaian music over a career that spanned more than 30 years.
