Historian at the Manhyia Palace, Safo Kantanka, has paid tribute to the late Asantehemaa, Nana Ama Konadu Yiadom III, describing her as fair, firm, and honest throughout her reign from 2017 to 2025.

Nana Ama Konadu Yiadom III passed away on Thursday, August 7, 2025, at the age of 98. She ascended the stool on February 6, 2017, following the death of her mother, Nana Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem III, who died in 2016 at the age of 111.
Safo Kantanka noted that her enstoolment fulfilled a prophecy from the Kwaku Firi Shrine, conveyed through Baafuo Osei Akoto, a senior linguist of the Asantehene.
