I have too much money to spend- John Dumelo

Being a celebrity comes with its highs and lows, with the lows especially being about invasion of your privacy, living up to expectations and keeping your brand clean and scandal-free.

Of course many people assume that the life of any celebrity is all glitz and glam and they probably don’t have a care in the world. But what if some problems are just too complicated to solve?

This is certainly news to us, because it is almost unfathomable that anyone, and a celeb for that matter, has a hard time spending his money.

Aside his successful acting career, John is also an entrepreneur who has recently gone into farming, as well as a philanthropist and travel junkie.

From his earlier stints in the early 2000s to getting nominated for prestigious awards including the Africa Movie Academy Award and the Afro-Australian Movie and Music Awards, John Dumelo is certainly one of Ghana’s brightest lights.

The carving, though done with good intentions, was poorly sketched and it will take a great deal of effort to realize that it was actually Ebony that he wanted to draw on his scalp.

The costume carving, though, is similar to the dress that Ebony wore in one of her photos, but everything else is just awful.

Ebony, known in real life as Priscilla Opoku-Kwarteng, passed on Thursday, February 8, 2018 after being involved in a fatal car crash.

Ebony's response to her managers when they asked her about her many tattoos

Ebony Reigns had a total of seventeen tattoos on her body

-They were of different shapes and designs spread all over her body with the biggest one under her breasts

Latest information available to YEN.com.gh indicates that Ebony’s management, led by Bullet, had no knowledge about the meaning and reasons for Ebony’s many tattoos.

Contrary to popular opinions that she had acquired those tattoos with the knowledge or influence of her managers all in the name of branding, the managers have denied knowing this.

Bullet and Allen Kofi Anti, manager and deputy manager of Ruff Town Records respectively, have disclosed in a latest interview that they themselves never understood or knew the meaning of many of Ebony’s tattoos

“..As for the tattoos, we don’t even know what to say about them. She was secretive about it and never wanted to tell us their meanings when we asked her. All she said was they are personal,” Bullet said in an interview on GHONE TV.

He added that Ebony always remained tight-lipped about where, when and how she got those tattoos and remembers one answer she gave was “I got it from Macedonia.”

Bullet’s revelation about Ebony’s tattoos is obviously going to surprise many because those tattoos have been a topical issue when she was alive.

Ebony, born Pricilla Opoku-Kwarteng, first made her tattoos public in an interview with Abeiku Santana on his “Atuu” entertainment show in 2017.

According to her, she had 17 tattoos with the biggest one being the “star of David and an ocean” under her breasts.

She went on to explain that those at the other parts of her body including her arm and back had her local name “Ohemaa” and the names of her sister.

She also disclosed that she actually had some of the tattoos at some private parts of her body, including nine body piercings.

Many wondered why such a young girl of twenty years would have such a number of paintings on her body and she was consequently tagged a bad girl, just as she referred to herself - “Original 90sBadGurl.”

She met her untimely death last week Thursday on the Sunyani-Kumasi Highway on her way back to Accra with three others.

Her one week observance has been slated for Sunday, February 18, 2018, in Accra.
