Marriage counsellor and media personality Cyril George Carstensen Lutterodt, popularly known as Counsellor Lutterodt, has reacted to the death of renowned gospel musician Yaw Sarpong, making controversial remarks about the late singer’s wife, Adwoa Pinamang.
Ghanaians were plunged into mourning on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, following confirmation of Yaw Sarpong’s death. His manager, Nana Poku Ashis, announced that the veteran musician passed away at Emena Hospital in Kumasi, where he had been receiving treatment. News of his demise sent shockwaves through the music industry, prompting tributes from fans, colleagues, and prominent figures, including rapper Sarkodie.
Speaking in an interview on Angel FM, Counsellor Lutterodt alleged that Adwoa Pinamang did not treat her husband well during his lifetime. He referenced a past appearance she made on a relationship programme hosted by Auntie Naa on Oyerepa FM, where she reportedly discussed marital issues involving the late singer.
According to Lutterodt, the widow should return to the same platform to publicly express her grief, just as she had earlier spoken about her marital challenges. His remarks suggested that her previous actions amounted to public humiliation of the gospel icon.
The counsellor further made claims about the late musician’s personal life, stating that Maame Tiwaa—Yaw Sarpong’s former partner who died weeks earlier—was his “heaven-ordained soulmate.” He controversially implied that the singer’s death shortly after her passing was spiritually significant.
These comments have generated intense debate on social media. While some users supported Counsellor Lutterodt’s position, others criticised him for making such remarks at a sensitive time, arguing that they were inappropriate and lacked compassion.
The discussion surrounding his comments has added to ongoing public conversations about respect for the dead, media ethics, and the boundaries of public commentary during periods of mourning.
