With the unexpected death of the Dancehall songstress Priscilla Opoku Kwarteng, popularly known as Ebony, students on Wisconsin International University campus are wondering if there will be anyone as vibrant, creative and passionate as her. In interviews students have expressed how broken hearted they are about her demise and how they still cannot believe she is gone forever.
Ebony took Dancehall music to the next level. She always knew how to capture the crowd with her sensational voice, performances and outfits. “I really love Ebony, because she was always herself and her performance was awesome during one of our SRC Week celebration. Especially when she gave one of the students a lap dance”, recalls Bridget Bonnie, a L300 Communication student.Many students were expecting more crazy tunes from her this year. It was never a dull moment listening to her songs such as Kupe, Poison, Sponsor, Date Your father, Hustle, Maame Hwe, Aseda and her latest tune Konkonsa Police, released after her death. Bernard Kwame Dzakapsu, a L200 BSC Economic student said: “Ebony's songs were also educational, especially Maame Hwe, which was attributed to stop violence against women. She was very creative with her lyrics in a tricky way. It is very sad she had to die young at the peak of her career’’.

Students on campus really love Ebony for her songs and love the energy she has on stage. But some students criticises the fact that she wore revealing clothes that exposed her body. But apart from that they really liked her for being herself.Kwame Bello Junior, a L300 Communication student reflected: “In life, death is inevitable and her absence is really being felt”. Ebony left a legacy behind and that is something that keeps people going. Like some have said: ‘Her stage name was Ebony Reigns, she will reign forever in our hearts’. May her soul rest in the bosom of the Almighty.Culture Desk Reporters: Abigail Agyekum, Amanda Aseidua Vanderpuye, Geneivee Cooper
