Reliable information gathered by www.nydjlive.com indicates that ace Ghanaian Gospel musician Barima Kusi Brimpong popularly known as Reverend Kusi Berko has kicked the bucket. He died at the Pramso Hospital few hours after his arrival.
The musician well known for hit songs such as Ofata/Nyame Aguama, Edin Ben Ni, and many others had been battling with stroke for the past six years.
Although family had kept his ailing condition away from the public eye and media, organisers of the Ghana Gospel Music Awards in 2012 donated an amount of GHC 5000 to him as he could no longer do music.
In December 2013, the artist who seemed a bit better took to the podium of the Perez Chapel and told his audience that his faith in God had kept him alive.
“I have a resilient faith in God. For six good years, I was bed-ridden as a result of stroke. I could not walk but I told God that I will not die but live to testify his good works. Today, here I am, proclaiming the work of God,”
Relatives and close family would however not speak on the death.
Tributes have started pouring in for the musician who served as a role model to many.
