    It has been six years since the sudden death of Ghanaian dancehall and Afrobeats artist, Ebony Reigns. She was a vibrant and extremely talented woman.

    The music industry and fans alike pause on the anniversary of her death to consider the influence she had on the Ghanaian music landscape.

    Priscilla Opoku-Kwarteng, better known as Ebony, mesmerised audiences with her seductive voice and fearless approach to her craft. “Poison,” her breakthrough hit, made her a formidable force very quickly. She was discovered by Bullet from Ruff n Smooth.

    She tragically lost her promising career on February 8, 2018, in a fatal car accident while returning to Accra from Sunyani, where she had visited her mother, along with her assistant and longtime friend, Franklina Yaa Nkansah Kuri soldier Atsu Vondee.

    Following the most remarkable breakthrough year in Ghanaian music history, the electrifying dancehall songstress went on to win the 2018 VGMA Artist of the Year award posthumously.

    Honouring the “90s Bad Gyal” is a way to acknowledge her revolutionary contributions to the industry as well as her musical talent. Through her music, she boldly questioned social norms, addressed social issues, and empowered young women.

    Although the “Sponsor” hitmaker’s death has left a huge hole, her legacy endures thanks to the enduring influence she had on Ghanaian music. Her impact is still being celebrated by her family, admirers, and fellow artists, guaranteeing that the spirit of the “90s Bad Gyal” lives on in the hearts of those who cherished her artistry and her timeless melodies.

    Mohbad’s Autopsy Finally Out, See what Authorities Are Saying

    The autopsy results from samples sent overseas will not be released for several months, according to the police authorities, who have carried out an investigation and informed the public of this,” the statement read.

    Monday, January 15, 2023β€”Ilerioluwa “Mohbad” Aloba, the late musician, will not have his autopsy made public immediately, according to a statement from his management.

    The management disputed a report that said the late singer had written his last will and testament, emphasising that if such documents had existed, they would have been submitted to the probate registry.

    “Despite recent false reports to the contrary, neither Mohbad’s management team nor his attorney have disclosed the existence of a will or other thumb-printed documents to the public or any family members. Thus, we respectfully request that people refrain from disseminating this kind of false information,” the message read.

    The death of Mohbad on September 12, 2023, dealt a severe blow to the Nigerian entertainment industry. The peculiar circumstances surrounding his death sparked a national call for an inquiry into his manner of death.

    Examination of Mohbad’s demise

    A total of 26 people were questioned by the police regarding Mohbad’s death, including members of his family.

    The primary suspect, Feyisayo Ogendengbe, a quack nurse who gave the musician injections at his home before to his death, has not yet been charged in a court of law

    Ayobami Sadiq, popularly known as Spending, a buddy of Mohbad’s who invited Ogendengbe to treat the singer at his Lekki house, was also identified as a suspect, along with Primeboy, another friend who allegedly got into a physical argument with him the day before he passed away.

    Naira Marley and Sam Larry are also regarded as suspects with a case to answer because of evidence connecting them to violence against Mohbad, physical abuse, threats against their lives, and cyberbullying.

    The people who survive Mohbad are his mother, father, son, and wife.
