It’s been over seven years since the death of Ghanaian singer Ebony Reigns, who tragically died in a car accident on February 8, 2018.
Yet, even after all these years, people who were close to her continue to share different accounts of what happened during her last days.
Two prominent voices in this ongoing conversation are Bullet, the CEO of RuffTown Records, the label Ebony was signed to, and OgeeTheMC, a close friend of the late singer, whom many also believe was her boyfriend.
Both men gave separate interviews to 3Music TV, but their stories do not align. In fact, their accounts of Ebony’s last days, her career, and their personal relationships with her are raising questions.
Now, many Ghanaians are left wondering: Who is telling the truth?
In Ogee’s interview with 3Music TV, he claimed that the night before Ebony’s death, they were preparing for what would have been her first-ever trip outside Ghana.
“We were supposed to leave the country, and that was the first time she was going to leave the country,” he said.
However, Bullet disputed this, stating that OgeeTheMC is not being truthful. According to him, Ebony had already travelled abroad before her death.
He cited two of her music videos, ‘Poison’ and ‘Turn on the Light’, as proof that she had been outside the country.
“He doesn’t even know that we shot Poison and Turn on the Lights in Dubai,” Bullet said in his interview.
Checks reveal that ‘Poison’, which was released on January 20, 2017, featured recognizable Dubai landmarks, confirming that Ebony had travelled outside Ghana a year before her passing.
Another major point of contention was the state of Ebony’s relationship with OgeeTheMC at the time of her death.
According to Bullet, Ebony and Ogee were no longer on speaking terms.
“Even before Ebony died, Ogee and Ebony were not on talking terms,” Bullet said.
Ogee, however, shared a different version. He claimed that on the night of the accident, Ebony came to collect the car keys from him, suggesting they were, at the very least, still communicating.
There’s also confusion surrounding who first introduced Ebony to the music industry.
OgeeTheMC said he worked with Ebony for about a year before introducing her to Bullet.
“I’ve had this girl for like a year, so I dey look for somebody. I know she’s good, and you will like this girl,” he stated.
But Bullet firmly denies this.
According to him, Ogee had only known Ebony for about a week before introducing her to him.
“The lies that he is going around saying, that he gave me three songs and all that, and that he worked with Ebony for a year before introducing her to me, that one is a lie,” Bullet said.
Meanwhile, the ongoing back-and-forth between both camps has thrown social media into confusion, as netizens struggle to determine who to believe.
With all these conflicting statements, the truth about Ebony’s final days and who truly played the most important role in her life remains uncertain.
