Global Media Alliance, owners of Happy FMYFM and eTV Ghana, confirmed the death in a statement saying he was gone but not forgotten.

Director of Broadcasting at Global Media Alliance Broadcasting Company (GMABC), Timothy Karikari said in the statement, “This is not the news we expected this morning. DJ Advicer had been ill and was in and out of the hospital for a while.

“We made it a point to visit him regularly and were assured he was coming back to work soon and with fire. This is a sad day for all of us at GMABC. We have lost a true gem, a visionary and leader. Our condolence to his family.”

“Well known for his dedicated Wednesday slot for fast-rising artistes and the Happy Chatroom with established acts on Thursday, DJ Advicer will forever remain in the hearts of all in the world of showbiz.”

In 2019, DJ Advicer picked up two awards at the Ghana DJ Awards, Best Music Promoter of the Year and Best Afrobeat/Hiplife DJ of the Year.
