According to the sad news reaching pulse.com.gh, Ray passed on today, October 1, 2020. The talented artiste won the sympathy of Ghanaians after it surfaced online that he was battling liver cancer and needed funds urgently for a surgery.
A GoFundeMe campaigned was set to raise funds for his surgery abroad and within 18hrs, the target of $55,566 was met, following how social media users were touched by his sad story.
