Why Ebony’s ‘properties’ have not been shared – Father reveals [Video] https://www.adomonline.com/why-ebonys-properties-have-not-been-shared-father-reveals-video/ Sun, 11 Feb 2024 08:54:32 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2354265 Six years after the tragic death of Ghanaian music sensation, Ebony Reigns, her personal belongings are still intact.

Her father, Starboy Kwarteng said the late Ebony’s properties are still in his possession, untouched and preserved.

In an interview on Adom FM‘s Entertainment Hall, he said he finds solace by meditating with her pictures and clothes.

This emotional attachment, Mr. Kwarteng noted is one of the reasons why he is keeping Ebony’s belongings as a tribute to her legacy.

Traditionally, properties of a deceased are shared a year after death but Starboy Kwarteng opined that, Ebony died too young to have her items distributed.

He explained that, her siblings are all well-accomplished individuals who do not require any of her personal items, hence they have not even made demands for any.

Starboy Kwarteng said as a family, they understand the impact her death has on them, and sharing her belongings is the least on their minds.

“Ebony Reigns still talks to me; she lives on. I don’t dream about her, but when we talk spiritually, it’s more or less like a trance. She speaks in my ears. She whispered in my ear,” Starboy Kwarteng revealed, highlighting the ongoing bond he shares with his daughter beyond the physical realm.

Starboy Kwarteng drops shocking latest report on Ebony’s death https://www.adomonline.com/starboy-kwarteng-drops-shocking-latest-report-on-ebonys-death/ Mon, 23 Jan 2023 12:38:14 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2207643 Starboy Kwarteng, father of late Dancehall artiste Ebony Reigns, has revealed some components of her yet to be published death reports.

The aggrieved father alleged that the report has cemented his long-held assertion that there is an unnatural factor to his daughter’s demise.

In an interview on Kingdom FM, Mr Kwarteng revealed the driver behind the gory crash that killed his daughter and her two associates has finally been arrested.

He added that in the briefing he was given, the court declined to charge him for the deaths, as no evidence was found of his direct involvement in the deaths.

However, he was charged for reckless driving with an additional charge for not having a license at that time.

Mr Kwarteng further stated that the report said “the driver made no mistake, he was just lucky to survive the ordeal”.

This, he said contradicts earlier investigations where he was informed there was no foul play in the accident.

“They had the guts to inform me the driver has been arrested but I am not privy to any other information on her death. When they started the investigations, they said the driver made no mistake but now they are telling me he had no license; didn’t they check that to conclude. When an accident happens, first thing police check is if the driver is qualified to drive,” he fumed.

Though the police said everything seems natural, Mr Kwarteng is adamant Ebony’s death was well orchestrated, “based on investigations and what I was told”.

The aggrieved father dropped a bombshell when he alleged his daughter’s injuries were not consistent with wounds of an accident, especially as the car somersaulted multiple times.

“I believe Ohemaa was murdered before the accident because there was no blood on her outfit, I will always say this. She has serious deep cuts on her face and upper body yet there was no sign of blood,” he said.

To bring some closure on his daughter’s death, Mr Kwarteng is demanding final reports and findings from the necessary authorities.

Ebony was murdered – Starboy Kwarteng alleges [Video] https://www.adomonline.com/ebony-was-murdered-starboy-kwarteng-alleges-video/ Tue, 15 Feb 2022 09:32:29 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2079770 Father of late dancehall musician, Ebony Reigns, Nana Poku Kwarteng, says he has every reason to believe that the death of his daughter was orchestrated.

He made this revelation in an interview on Adom FM’s Entertainment Hall with host Mike 2, a few days after Ebony’s family visited her grave to pay homage four years after her demise.

According to him, the circumstances surrounding how ‘Nana Hemaa’ died don’t make sense, adding that, the driver who was in charge of the vehicle should be thoroughly investigated.

The investigations into Ebony’s death should have gone deeper. I want justice. I would love to see justice and I will like to know how this will end.

As to who murdered her, we are yet to find out. I see it to be that way and no one has told me she was murdered.

Maama Tiwaa told me we don’t have to take the driver to court. I laughed when she told me that in her office. There was another witness who wanted to talk. But he was allowed to move on without asking him anything. They had to ask vital questions… My doubts are still relevant.

Ebony Reigns, her friend- Franklin Kuri and military officer, said to be her bodyguard Atsu Vondee, died on the spot when their Jeep vehicle crashed into a bus on the Mankraso-Sunyani stretch of the main Kumasi-Sunyani road four years ago.

He made this revelation in an interview on Adom FM’s Entertainment Hall with Mike 2 last Saturday.

“She was there. She came home and I could feel her. The television came on by itself and the channel that came on was talking about her life. I knew she was trying to send us a message so I called the others to come and see,” he said.

According to him, he still communicates with his daughter (even though he wouldn’t clearly disclose how he does it) – he claimed he hears her voice and they communicate verbally.

On the 8th she came home. She wanted the people in the house to know she has arrived. Before we went to the cemetery, I was arranging a few things. I have two halls – one down and up.

I went up and the moment I got there, the TV came on by itself. So I made everyone aware of her presence. We couldn’t see her physically but I think she announced herself. The TV channel too proved she was the one who did that.

According to the father of the late dancehall musician, he strongly believes that “her death was orchestrated.”

Ebony Reigns was remembered by her family as they paid a glowing homage to her at her graveside at the Osu Cemetery last week.

This was in remembrance of her legacy as February 8, 2022, marks exactly four years since she was killed in an accident.

Mr Kwarteng believes that there is a mystery behind the sudden demise of his daughter.

In an interview with KMJ on Daybreak Hitz, Starboy Kwarteng said,he had a very strong bond with his daughter and that transcended after her death.

According to him, they communicate spiritually. He also said that he has seen her in his dreams twice.

“Nana Hemaa Ebony and I were so close, we had a bond and that gives me the opportunity to speak to her. I am a spiritualist. I have seen her in my dreams twice and she spoke to me. She questioned me on why I have folded my arms to watch what is going on. It’s a shame. Nana Hemaa wishes for us to find out how she died. I have always believed that there is much more to the queen’s death. I expected more. I think the driver should have been summoned to explain what really happened. I am still not convinced. I was told the driver’s license had expired three years before the accident. Nobody seemed to care about the driver who killed three (3) people and was driving around with an expired license. I was very disappointed.”

The 8th of February 2022, marks the fourth anniversary of the death of the posthumous, Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) Artiste of the Year.

The popular dancehall artiste, Ebony Reigns, died in a gruesome road accident that occurred on the Sunyani-Kumasi road in 2018.

The 20-year-old singer and three other persons were on board a Jeep with registration AS 497-16, travelling from Sunyani to Kumasi when a head-on collision with a VIP bus heading towards Sunyani from Kumasi occurred.

The driver of the vehicle escaped death, however, two other occupants — a military officer identified as Francis Atsu Vondee and lady identified only as Frankie — died later at the Bechem Government Hospital after they were rushed there.

Starboy Kwarteng’s signee sheds tears as hot secret drops on Hitz FM https://www.adomonline.com/starboy-kwartengs-signee-sheds-tears-as-hot-secret-drops-on-hitz-fm/ Thu, 11 Feb 2021 17:37:15 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=1918329 Late Ebony Reigns’ father’s signee, Kim Maureen, has reacted emotionally to some accusations her boss made against her in a live interview.

Nana Opoku ‘Starboy’ Kwarteng stated in an interview on Wednesday, February 10 that much has not been heard of his Bony to the World record label because his signee is lazy.

He further said anytime he travels out of the country, Miss Maureen, who is living under his roof for work purposes, goes on ‘holiday’.

“We signed a five-year contract for her to release seven albums. When I was in Europe because of COVID, she did nothing; she is just lazy. For someone who had a child, she is an adult, but she does nothing, she is always late for production,” he said.

But, Miss Maureen, on the same platform, rebutted, stating that she wanted their production to be very fast but her boss shut her up and said he doesn’t want pressure.

Amid tears, she blurted out about how unfair her boss was to disgrace her in a live interview. She said aside the work listed in their contract; she washes, cooks sometimes and does other chores.

What broke her heart was that Mr Kwarteng mentioned her child, the first fruit she bore, who died shortly after his birth, insisting it was absolutely irrelevant to their discussion.

The artiste, who hitherto sold airtime to make ends meet, said her boss forced her to shun her own life with the excuse that it “doesn’t befit a celebrity.”

“I am crying because it is painful for me to go through this kind of thing. Anytime I ask for money, I get insults back in return. Sometimes when I ask for money, he tells me to get a boyfriend. He gave me GHS100 twice to buy thrift dress and even the dresses I wear for shows, I return them afterwards.”

However, she said her boss has never, not even once demanded for sexual relations.

But in a sharp rebuttal, Starboy Kwarteng and his wife joined the interview via phone call to rubbish all claims, swearing on their deceased daughter that they were telling the truth.

The couple expressed disappointment in her for failing to acknowledge their effort, including buying her petty things such as panties and earrings.

After the release of just two songs in a year and half, Starboy Kwarteng says he has washed his hands of her.

The announcement made many ardent fans of Ebony angry because, for most of them, it was inappropriate for the manager of the deceased to so because it came too soon.

For others, it was not only about the timing but the forum Bullet chose for his announcement – the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.

Since then, there have been back and forth moments between Ebony’s father, Nana Opoku Kwarteng and Bullet over rights and music royalties of the fallen dancehall diva.

So intense was the misunderstanding that it manisted publicly, getting many Ghanaians to wade into the matter, with many people choosing sides in the matter of who really deserved to control Ebony’s posthumous legacy.

Fast forward, two years after Ebony’s death, the Opoku Kwarteng family and members of the Rufftown record label have reunited to close the chapter on the friction that has existed between them.

This happened at an event dubbed “Ebony Jollof Party”, which was organised by both parties at Dansoman to annually honour the legacy of the Maame Hwe hitmaker.
