She was probably one of the hottest Ghanaian artists. She sing with her heart and dance while enjoying herself as if no one watching. She was absolutely fantastic on her job as a singer and a dancer. I really wish i got to know her. What a lost. May her soul rest in peace.

@leadershudson1290

No doubt she was killed by enemies via accident...

I cannot come across another Jamaican who appreciate Ebony’s music like I do.When I am driving and ask my autistic son to play music for me,he starts with “Poison”. I wish I met her and was able to redirect her from her death. Natural beautiful sister.🇯🇲🇬🇭❤️Gone too son Baby Girl.
