The death of Ebony Reigns has been a shock, to say the least. Death is inevitable, nevertheless, when it strikes a person who is young and whose future looks so bright, it is harder to accept.
Music star Ebony Reigns, real name Priscilla Opoku-Kwarteng, left a void in the hearts of many Ghanaians when she died in a car crash on Thursday night in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.
The rising dancehall and Afrobeats artist was returning from Sunyani, the capital of the Brong Ahafo Region when her car crashed into a bus killing her, a friend and a security man. Her driver is reported to be unconscious.
