A Ghanaian hiplife artiste, Quabena Jay, a.k.a. Maphia, leader of Dollars Entertainment and K. G. Music as well as “Adwenekesie” fame has reportedly been gunned down in Toronto, Canada.
Maphia was said to be with some friends in a club in Downtown Toronto where he met his untimely death.
Available information indicates that an hour after his arrival in the club, he and his friends decided to go to a recording studio which was close by the club.
One of the friends alleged whilst jamming in the club, Maphia said a song had suddenly come into his mind and therefore wanted to go to the studio to record.
He said as they stepped out of the club, a car pulled up and the driver opened fire. At that stage people started running helter skelter for their dear lives. Unfortunately, Maphia could not make it as he was shot in the process.
One of his friends quickly lifted him into his Lexus car and drove to a nearby hospital but he was pronounced dead upon his arrival.


this is not true. i was wit hommie this morning. lol dag mr. ghanamusic get ur infos rite. n stop wishin death upon ppl..
CHEAP ASS NIGGA IF U WANT TO BE FAMOUS,WORK HARD AND STOP PLAYING PRANKS.WHO SENT THE REPORT?WHY DIDNT THEY VERIFY B4 PUBLISHING?ITS DELEBRATE STOP THAT….
lol damn ghana music get ur facts right maphia is here man he not dead my mans on da phone with him right now….lol damn dats fucked up how ya’ll doin that
r u guys fucked u said maphia is shot he is alive and well who gave u that bullshit info, the person needs to be sued
somethings maybe funny to u, but whoever is doing this and saying this boy is fucking shot is crazy. he is well and healthy in Toronto. Just stop this nonsense becasue no one give a fuck about it and find good things to say. this is not nice and is really rude and shame to the person.
I was feeling sad reading this thing but if its not true then mafia fukkkkkkkkk you.you aint all that to play pranks like that nigga.dont wish death on urself to get famous.papapharoh said so.
Please get your stories right. Whoever is feeding you all the info is a crack head. I just spoke to this guy and he is well and strong. Ghana Music.com we appreciate your effort of giving us music news but please do research before you publish your stories. This is a person dignity we are dealing here.
For the first time i think i would have to agree with Papapharoh. For sure this article was very sad in the beginning and then i started reading posts that said that he is still alive. This is ridiculous ghanamusic you guys have to take this article off or edit some of the words. Is the story about him getting shot even true. I would understand if he was an artist in the US trying to gin up some street cred like cassidy. This is simply unacceptable.
This guy is a pussy, I call him Maa Afia, he feels like he is disappearing and wants to appear again so he calls ghanamusic to put this shit up.
Good to know he is alive!
Is this a ploy to get even popular or sell records? Nyce try
Its true man. yall should check the Toronto Star or the Toronto Sun mein.And Know enough ppl that were there. My brother saw everything… R.I.P Maphia

I’m surprised that it’s been 2 days since ghanamusic.com posted this story yet we still don’t know what the real story is. Can’t ghanamusic.com make calls to verify this story themselves and either authenticate or retract this story? This is sad indeed. I’m surprised. Ghanamusic.com is very good with second hand stories. Pure cut and paste journalism.
Okay J-TECH, I live in Tdot too, u want proof, lemme show u that I know where Maphia lives, lives in FallStaff, dat nigga ain’t dead. He ain’t my boy but I like that niggaz music so I don’t wanna say nothing stupid against him right now eventhough I want to cuz wishing death to be famous is not the way.

So let me get this shit right….who the fuck call ghanamusic.com ppl to give them this shit. I don’t think the site decided to kill that nigga for no reason. If that nigga ain’t dead cool, but if he is RIP…Whoever did this shit that’s some fuck up shit right there, because death is nothing funny….Fame is a bitch…and
believe me I have famous movie stars friends….I have being around the hollywood scene for a minute and shit is not all that people think fame is. Hope the nigga ain’t dead…..Peace and Live

Talking about star i came from two weeks ago every where you go in Ghana you here Maphia’s song . This guy is accepted in Ghana so he dosen’t have to be fame be washing death on himself they must have twist the store around. KEEP UP YOUR HARD WORK MAPHIA
