Nana Aidoo, also known as Dr Ntakaraohene, has shared details of the pain and anguish Osanju went through in his fight against leukaemia.
The popular TikTok creator, born Elvis Frimpong, battled cancer for years before he finally passed away on September 1, 2025.
According to reports, he was found in critical condition in his room around 2 a.m.
His landlady, Mama Juu, procured a taxi, which helped rush him to the Mount Sinai Hospital.
Osanju was transferred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) but was pronounced dead not long after arriving at the second hospital.
Below is a TikTok video of his landlady detailing the moment she found Osanju and rushed him to the hospital.
Osanju’s godfather speaks about his cancer battle
In a viral interview with Ghanaian online personality Zionfelix, Nana Aidoo, who also suffers from cancer, opened up on his alleged conversations with Osanju.
He claimed that the young TikToker informed him that he had his illness as a child but was ‘healed’ by a practitioner of alternative medicine.
Osanju reportedly said that the cancer returned when he was an adult.
Nana Aidoo claimed that Osanju contacted him on TikTok after he saw his videos detailing his battle against cancer, and they formed a strong bond until he died.
He said when they first met, Osanju was suffering from his illness, but never went to the hospital because he claimed he could not afford it. This led him to start sending him money every month.
“When he informed me of his condition, I asked him if he had gone for treatment, and he told me he hasn’t been to the hospital in a while because it was too expensive. So I replied that he should not do that, but that I would pay for him to visit the hospital… I sent him money every month, and I have proof of that. I sent him his last money on the Friday before his death,” he said.
Zionfelix asked Nana Aidoo why Osanju might need help with his treatment when he was a famous TikToker whom people assumed was wealthy.
He replied that there was too much pressure on him as the sole breadwinner of his family, which led him to neglect his treatment at times.
“Remember, he was the sole breadwinner of his family, with his parents and siblings all being his responsibility. So personally, what I was doing was helping him with buying his medicine,” he added.
