RIP Ebony: Kofi Adjorlolo: give artiste of the year to Ebony

Veteran Ghanaian actor Kofi Adjorlolo wants Ebony to be given the Artiste of the Year.

Following the death of Priscilla Opoku-Kwarteng, aka Ebony, many in the entertainment industry have called on the organisers of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards to award her the Artiste of the Year.

They have argued that she was in pole position to sweep the coveted award before she died in a fatal crash Thursday night while on her way back from a visit to her mother.

Meanwhile, the  Minister of Tourism, Catherine Afeku, has said the late Dancehall star will get a befitting burial from the government.
