It’s Only Heartless People Who Will Say We’re Doing Business With Ebony’s Death – Bullet

Posted on by Peace Agyare

Ricky Nana Agyeman, manager of the Ebony Reigns,  has stated that anyone who says they’re doing business with the death of the 90’s Bad Gyal is heartless.

Family and management of the late Ebony unveiled three clothes for her final funeral rites.

The clothes were named after her songs, ‘Maame Hwe’ and ‘Aseda’.

Again, a tribute concert to raise funds for her foundation, will be held today

This will be immediately be followed by her final burial service on Saturday March,24.

The family and her management, headed by Bullet, have revealed that all these are in line with some of the dreams Ebony had whiles alive.

They want her legacy to live on forever, hence they’ve taking it upon themselves to fulfil some of her dreams in her honor.

However, there have been several unsavory comment from the public to the family and management.

According to some section of the public, her management, seeks to make profit from Ebony’s demise. This is particularly, following their idea to charge a fee of GH¢10 at the gate on Friday.

Most people claim do not understand why they’re charging for entrance fee when the artistes billed to perform are doing so free of charge.

Bullet has however, reacted to these comments in an interview with DJ Adviser on Happy FM’s Ayekoo Drive. He expounded on the reasons behind the whole event.

Bullet Speaks;

“…Ebony has always wanted to have a clothing line. You are being heartless if you say we are doing business with her death. Ebony is an artist so what is wrong with having a clothing line in her memory. If her fans want to buy then what is your problem. Why should it be mourning… mourning… mourning? Bullet quizzed.

The exasperated Bullet indicated that he is not the first person to have done this for a late artiste.

“Ebony is a big artiste and there has been lot of big musicians in the likes of Michael Jackson and many more, so why are Ghanaians thinking this way? We are just doing all this in the memory of Ebony.” He added.

Ebony, born Priscilla Opoku Kwarteng lost her life in a fatal accident on the Sunyani-Kumasi Highway in February. She was returning to Accra after visiting her mother in Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo Region.

Meanwhile, her bodyguard, Lance Corporal Atsu Vondee is also to be buried on Saturday in the Volta Region.

Unveiling of the cloths took place at a short ceremony at the West Hills Mall on Saturday, March 17.

Ebony’s father, Nana Opoku Kwarteng urged all to purchase and use the cloths on any occasion for the memory of his daughter to live on.

“It’s unfortunate we are here today not for anything, to launch funeral cloths of my daughter, the queen, Ebony. How sad it is,” said the grieving father.

“It’s very unfortunate if you ask me but I guess we have no option. We are here to launch the cloths, they are beautiful to see. You’ll admire them for sure. It is in to stay, so to speak. And we recommend that for every occasion, patronize so that Ebony will forever reign. It is your support that will make this come true”. He said, stressing on the need for the public to patronize the cloths.

Management;

Her Manager, Ricky Nana Agyemang (Bullet), CEO of RuffTown Records, also added that the introduction of the cloth was in line with his artiste’s dream.

“We are doing this for Ebony Reigns. When she was alive, she was always with me. She told me most of the things she wanted to do. She wanted to have ‘Ntoma Collections’ because all the other musicians had casual wears. So it’s like a dream come true,” said Bullet.

The clothes are named after her songs ‘Maame Hwe’  which comes in two different types and ‘Aseda’, which is black and white.

Meanwhile, the final funeral rites and burial service for the late Ebony, born Priscilla Opoku Kwarteng, will be held on March 24 at the forecourt of the State House in Accra.

For all those who prayed for Ebony to get hold of Manasseh’s love letter. There’s good news because she has done that and has equally replied.

Few weeks ago, an article captioned ‘Love Letter To Ebony’ hit the social media.

The writer, a broadcast Journalist with Multi Media Group Manasseh Azure. He wrote a letter concerning what is described by many as Ebony’s “indecent exposure of private body parts’.

There were many who after reading the letter gave a thumbs up to the writer for his articulated and impeccable writing skills and words of advise. They further prayed for the letter to reach the rightful recipient so she can read and take some seed from it.
Some on the other hand, criticized him that whatever Ebony was doing with her life was none of his business.

Though the 90’s ‘badgyal’ didn’t react immediately to the letter that went viral, she was seen a few days ago replying to the letter.

Ebony’s Reply

The “hustle” hitmaker took to her Facebook page to reply the writer of her love letter.
