StarGame's Goldie dies, tributes pour in
The news spread like wild fire eliciting shock, disbelief and tears:
Goldie Harvey, Kennis music act and BBA Stargame housemate has died at
31.
Goldie hit the limelight with her hit song, Say My Name
and was, before her passing, clearly, the most prominent member of
Kennis Music, aside from Capital Femi.
Known for her
outrageous and dramatic dress sense, Goldie hit continental stardom
after her turn on reality show, Big Brother StarGame, where she fell for
the charms of Kenyan rapper, Prezzo.
Rumours of a marriage between the two started circulating recently, but Prezzo was quick to discount the news.
Goldie has been busy since her stint in the BBA house and has released
a few singles like Skibobo, Miliki and Got to Have it. Skibobo in which
she featured AY seems to have made the biggest splash.
Goldie attended the 2013 Grammy Awards at the Staples Centre alongside her label owners, Kenny Ogungbe and Dayo D1 Adeneye.
Kennis Music has released an official statement regarding her sudden
death, which reads: ““With a deep sense of loss, we announce the
shocking death of our darling music star, Goldie Harvey. Goldie, 31,
died on Thursday after she complained of a severe headache shortly after
her arrival from the United States where she went to witness the Grammy
Awards. She was rushed from her Park View, Ikoyi, Lagos residence to
her official hospital, Reddington, Victoria Island, Lagos, where doctors
pronounced her dead on arrival at exactly 7:30 in the evening. We
consider this period a gloomy moment for us and the entire Nigerian
music industry in view of the circumstance in which she passed away; the
abundance of talent she exhibited in her short but eventful music
career and the various opportunities her trip to the United States of
America would have availed her. She is survived by her father, step-
mother, brothers and sisters. We deeply sympathise with her family and
fans all over the world and are very grateful to all and sundry,
especially, the vibrant Nigerian media for their concern and prompt
reportage. We shall keep everybody informed as events unfold as we are
devastated by the sudden loss.”
Her friends, Denrele Edun and
Karen Igho as well as Head honcho of Kennis music, Kenny “keke” Ogungbe
were at Reddignton hospital at the time.
While Celebrity
Friends have been mourning her on twitter, her rumoured boo, Prezzo has
remained quiet on social media with his last tweet published 21 hours
ago.
