He died from chronic Tuberculosis he was batting with for years. According to reports, Bak Tye, born Ekow Zagla, died at the Ridge Hospital in Accra on Sunday, July 28, 2019. 

Bak Tye, a contemporary of Shatta Wale (then Bandana) and Samini (Batman) burst onto the music scene with a hit called 'Yenpie'. The song which featured Samini was produced by Agyengo was the party anthem for 2004 and beyond. 

After that track and album, Bak Tye became one of the most sought-after artistes and had collaborations with Mzbel on her breakthrough 'Awoso Me' and Kofi Nti among many others. He was almost on every show that happened around that time and was just as big as any other artiste but he went into oblivion after sometime only to resurface in a bad shape.
