Manager of late Ebony, Bullet, has revealed that the monies that will be gathered at Ebony’s tribute concert will be used to set up a foundation to honour her memory.
He made this revelation on the back of some comments circulating in the public that he seeks to make profit from Ebony’s demise.
Bullet, some few days ago, slammed some Ghanaian musicians for wanting to cash in on their performance at Ebony’s one week tribute.
The musicians couldn’t fathom why they would perform for free when fees will be charged for fans attending the tribute program.

Reacting to this on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, Bullet disclosed that “we are doing the concert to pay the final respect to her. We are laying a foundation for her. The concert is for her foundation launch. That’s why we are taking gate fee”, he said.
Asked to reveal names of the artistes seeking money to perform, member of the defunct Ruff and Smooth group said ‘after the show and funeral, I will do that. I don’t want to talk about it right now”.
