[UPDATED] Kefee ‘died of lung failure’

Gospel artiste and multiple award winner, Kefee Don Momoh, died in an American hospital Friday morning, according to various reports on the internet.

Her friend and celebrated blogger, Stella Dimoko, has also reported Kefee’s passing.

She wrote: “I have been crying and waiting for news that it is not true but Kefee my friend and sister is gone forever…”

The sad news was also confirmed by on-air personality, Yaw, on Wazobia FM Friday morning. He is a close friend of the Don Momoh family.

Kefee collapsed mid-air on a flight to Chicago for a performance and had been in coma since then despite recent reports that she had regained consciousness.

Various unconfirmed reports said she died of pregnancy-induced high blood pressure, but her manager has now issued a statement announcing she died of lung failure.

Adeline Adelicious Adebayo wrote: “On behalf of the family….It is with a great sadness but grateful hearts that we announce the passing to glory due to lungs failure this morning of our God’s mouth piece, chorus leader, daughter, wife, sister, friend Kefee Branama Queen… May her beautiful, gentle and precious soul rest in perfect peace. Amen!!”

He said “in contrast to all earlier rumors and stories in circulation, I do state that Kefee wasn’t 6 months pregnant and neither did she have pre-eclampsia.”
