Your physical body left us 8 years ago but spirits don’t die — Late ebony reigns’ family visits her tomb after eight years of demise

Late Ebony and family

Eight years after the tragic passing of Ghana’s celebrated music icon Ebony Reigns, members of her family have paid a solemn visit to her final resting place, reaffirming that her spirit, legacy, and influence remain alive despite her physical absence.

Ebony Reigns, born Priscilla Opoku-Kwarteng, died tragically on February 8, 2018, in a fatal car accident while returning from Sunyani to Accra after a show. Her sudden death sent shockwaves across Ghana and beyond, plunging the entertainment industry and her fan base into deep mourning.

In a deeply emotional moment captured and shared publicly, the family gathered at Ebony Reigns’ tomb to honour her memory, reflecting on the indelible mark she left on Ghana’s music industry and the lives she touched during her short but impactful career. One of the inscriptions and sentiments expressed during the visit read, “Your physical body left us 8 years ago but spirits don’t die,” a powerful reminder of the lasting presence Ebony continues to hold in the hearts of many, as explained by the father.

During the tomb visit, family members were seen laying flowers, praying, and standing quietly in remembrance of the late musician while the father sprays the tomb and the family. The atmosphere was one of reflection, gratitude, and sorrow, as they remembered not just the artiste Ebony Reigns, but the daughter, sister, and loved one she was to her family.

Despite her untimely death, Ebony Reigns’ legacy continues to thrive. Known for hit songs such as Sponsor, Poison, Kupe, and Maame Hwɛ, she broke barriers for female artistes in a male-dominated industry and became a symbol of boldness, confidence, and musical excellence. Her unique blend of dancehall, afrobeats, and highlife earned her numerous posthumous awards and recognition.
