The father of missing hiplife star Castro, Mr John Eshun, is furious with the legendary music producer Hammer of the Last Two, who recently said that Castro is definitively dead and Ghanaians need to move on.
In a swift rebuttal in a radio interview given in Takoradi, Mr Eshun tore into the record producer, wondering how he’s so interested in declaring Castro dead and whether he knew something about the situation at all.
“What is Hammer’s problem? Is he a spokesperson for the Castro family?” Mr Eshun rhetorically asked Asaasewura Santana on Kyzz Fm.
“Does Hammer know something about his death? He should know something about if he claims my son is dead. It doesn’t make sense” he added.
Mr Eshun said he was not ready to accept his son was dead and that he continues to believe he’s still alive.
Hammer invoked the wrath of Mr Eshun when he said in a recent interview that Ghanaians have to let go of their denial and accept that Castro is dead, and hold a massive celebration in his honour.
Hammer said the current situation where nobody quite knows whether to declare him alive or dead means his memory is being held in limbo and he’s not being given the send off he deserves.
“It’s been years and nobody seems to remember him. He’s not in our lives, he’s not in our daily communication but he’s forgotten. This guy played a major role in our industry but the technicalities that bind us is causing this.” he said on Hitz Fm.
“I know the family has the power to veto and go ahead to say they accept his demise and they want to give him a befitting memorial. It hurts me.
“We have to immortalise him by doing something about his name. We need an event to bid him farewell. We haven’t said goodbye to him and he is just hanging around. He’s name is just disrespected and forgotten as if he did not do anything in the industry.” he added.
