Ghana’s entertainment community is mourning the reported death of Adez, a former contestant of TV3’s popular Mentor music reality show.
According to information shared with GhanaMedia, Adez — reportedly known in private life as Adadzewa — died only days after attending a funeral gathering at the State House in Accra, where she reportedly spent the day assisting with food and drinks for mourners.
The circumstances and cause of her reported death have not been independently established.
Adez’s Mentor Journey
Adez became known to Ghanaian television audiences through Mentor II, TV3’s music reality competition in 2006.
Contemporary reports from the period document her participation in the competition. A November 2006 report identified Adez among the contestants and discussed her performances during the competition.
She also remained active in Ghana’s music industry after the programme.
In 2007, Adez performed alongside veteran highlife musician Ben Brako during the launch of his album Adende. Contemporary reporting described her as an artiste of TV3 Mentor fame.
Adez was also involved in music projects with other Ghanaian musicians. In 2007, she was listed among artistes featured on an Obrafuor project connected to the Black Stars.
Her music career continued beyond Mentor. In 2012, NewsGhana reported on her single “Budiin,” featuring Stonebwoy.
A Reported Final Appearance at a Funeral
Information supplied to GhanaMedia says Adez attended the funeral of the mother of a female backing vocalist at the State House in Accra on September 5, 2026.
According to a person who reportedly worked with her that day, Adez remained at the venue for much of the day, assisting with activities connected to the event while also working on sound and jingles.
The account has not yet been independently corroborated by GhanaMedia.
Shock Across the Music Community
News of Adez’s reported passing has prompted tributes from people who remember her contribution to Ghana’s entertainment industry.
Her journey from the Mentor stage into music performances and recording projects made her part of a generation of artistes introduced to national audiences through TV3’s reality music platform.
Her reported death, if confirmed, would mark another loss for Ghana’s entertainment community.
For now, GhanaMedia is continuing to seek confirmation from family members, colleagues and other authoritative sources regarding the reported death.
Rest in peace, Adez, if the reports are confirmed.
