Asked who the musicians were, Bullet refused to mention names and the amounts they charged.

In an interview on Peace 104.3FM’s ‘Entertainment Review’ via telephone,Shatta Wale who was speaking from America, disheartedly delineated that the tribute concert is useless.

The final funeral rites and burial service for the late Ebony, born Priscilla Opoku Kwarteng, will be held on March 24 at the forecourt of the State House in Accra.
