The actress told Adom TV’s Sister Sandy that she couldn’t fathom why a mammoth crowd would gather to pay their last respect to Ebony but failed to show her the same amount of love when she needed it the most in life.
According to her, she believed ‘Ebony was a young but talented musician wanting to do a lot of things in life [because] that was her art. People should have left her alone but a lot of Ghanaians are judgmental and hypocrites.
