According to Xandy, her father did not die a natural death considering the circumstances surrounding his sudden demise.
"I have two other siblings and then my mum and dad. My father passed away in 2012.
"My father was elected to parliament in 2004. I first came to Accra with my father, I am his eldest child...I was a very calm girl but I changed after my father's death. Some people believe that my father handed over the wild trait to me. There were so many issues after his death, his family took my mother to court over his properties but we won the case. They could have killed us all.

The outspoken actress in an interview monitored by GhanaWeb stated that her beloved father had so many plans for herself and her siblings.
The late Henry Ford Kofi Kamel encouraged his children to pursue higher education but after his death, his eldest daughter quit her job and finally landed in the movie industry.
