A lady by the name of Adepa Felicia recently took to her official TikTok page to share a video of the You Can't Touch Me hitmaker's residence.
The young lady, who captured the video of the late Daasebre Gyamenah's residence at Koforidua Korley Nkwanta while heading to the farm with her sister, shared that the house had been abandoned with nobody living inside it.
From the video, the huge building, which had gained popularity in the past for its beautiful aesthetics, appeared to be in a bad state.
Daasebre Gyamenah's properties, including his multiple houses in Ghana, became a big bowl of contention between his wife and children and his extended family after he passed away.

Daasebre Gyamenah's demise and its fallout
Daasebre Gyamenah, acknowledged by many Ghanaians as one of the greatest musicians in history, sadly passed away at 44 in the early hours of July 29, 2016, while he was on admission at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra after a reported heart attack.
Following his passing, a dispute over the multiple Ghana Music Awards winner's final burial place broke out between his maternal and paternal family members.

The late Daasebre Gyamenah's Muslim family had requested his burial on the same day as his demise, according to Islamic customs.
The highlife musician's maternal family secured a court injunction at a Koforidua High Court over his funeral and burial. They argued that he needed to be buried at Anomabo Ndasimam in the Central Region.
His paternal family also pushed for the late musician, who was from royal lineage, to be buried in Koforidua, where he lived and schooled for most of his life.
The two families eventually reached an out-of-court settlement on where he needed to be buried.
Barely two years after Daasebre Gyamenah's death, his second wife, Amina Ibrahim, shared that she had been evicted from her husband’s home in an interview with media personality Sister Sandy on Adom TV.
According to her, the late musician's elder brother had stormed the residence and thrown her belongings out, prompting her to live with a close friend.
Amina Ibrahim also opened up about the financial struggles she and her nine-year-old son had endured after Daasebre Gyamenah's demise.
