More often than not, celebrities work hard to maintain the preferred perceptions of people about them.

Their social status means a lot to them, and as such anything that tarnishes it must be closely examined and acted upon.

One of the fans who was clearly irritated by the song expressed his frustrations after Feli Nuna posted the cover art for the song and wished the ‘Maame Hwe’ hitmaker happy birthday on twitter.

The fan who responded to the post in a twitter comment described the tribute song as a piece of sh*t being forced onto Ghanaians by over-hyped female artistes.

The fan insisted that Ebony was a super talented female singer, and therefore deserved better than their tribute song.

However, his demining comment appeared to have angered Feli Nuna who equally fired back at him on twitter.

In her reply, Feli Nuna labeled the fan as a ‘liar’, insisting that the female starsN produced the tribute song from their hearts in honor of Ebony.

The memorial service will see several members of Ghana's entertainment industry converge to pay their respects to the deceased singer.

Ebony's death came as a shock to all as breaking news on a morning news bulletin revealed how the dancehall artiste had died in a road accident together with two other friends.

Ebony's death, unfortunately, sparked a wave of controversies as various self-acclaimed prophets laid claims to prophecies they made about the singer's sudden demise.

Already, celebrities and politicians - including President Akufo-Addo and former president Mahama - have all paid tribute to the singer. The minister of tourism and creative arts has also promised of ensuring that the singer gets a befitting burial.

YEN.com.gh has also compiled some facts that we so far know about the death of Ebony which includes the singer giving her life to Jesus Christ before her demise.

About Ebony: Ebony's real name is Priscilla Opoku-Kwarteng. She was born on February 16th, 1997. Her music career shot to fame after being discovered by music producer and member of Ruff-n-Smooth fame, Bullet.

The one-week funeral rites of the late Dancehall diva, Ebony Reigns, is scheduled to come off today at St. Martin De Porres at Dansoman.

As it is usual with Akan customs, the main funeral arrangements, including the date for her burial, will be announced at the one-week ceremony.

But one thing is clear, Ebony Reigns is not going to be forgotten anytime soon, at least, not until some time after her burial.

Already there are signs that attest to the fact that the name Ebony will live on forever.

Rapper Wanlov the Kubolor has already named his child after the late singer. You should not be surprised if many more follow his lead.

Ebony divided opinion with her very sensual and raunchy stage performances as well as 'unusual' sense of fashion.

But after her tragic death, we have seen the fiercest of her critics singing praises or keeping mute if they have nothing better to say.

And the overwhelming admiration cannot be said to be a fluke as people have really come to terms with her achievements at such a tender age.

At just 21 (which she would have been last Friday), she dominated the Ghanaian music arena within the last year. She was actually tipped to sweep awards at the 2018 VGMAs and also become the first female Artiste of the Year winner.

Apart from that, Ebony's sense of fashion was not all controversial. There is already a style of headgear [the one she used in the Maame Hw3 video] named after her.

Ebony may have been controversial but the fact still remains she had admirers and critics in equal measure and she will not be forgotten in a hurry.
