Nana Opoku Kwarteng has been on the receiving side after making a comeback into the media and fighting over proceeds from Ebony’s tribute concert.

He has been on the headlines for the past few weeks after leveling some shocking allegations against Ebony's manager and CEO of Rufftown Records, Ricky Nana Agyemang popularly known as Bullet .

According to Mr. Nana Opoku Kwarteng , he only received GHC 2000 from the tribute concert and expressed how he felt cheated.

After making such allegations against Bullet, some social media users calculated all the funeral donations that were publicly made which amounted to GHC 700,000.

However in an interview with Abeiku Santana on 'Atuu' show , he denied making profit and said that he made a loss instead.

According to him , he cannot remember the amount he received from donations.

“It’s so sad I don’t remember the amount I received from donations but hope that I will compile the list someday.

No one has ever made a profit from a funeral. There’s much more than what you saw. We used the money for what we are supposed to.



“I never received 700,000 cedis from funeral donations.” he said

He also admitted that he received USD 9,000 from Ebony’s royalties from Bullet as reported earlier.




Ebony's father also used the platform to advise those who are 'bashing' him for leveling allegations against Bullet to desist from that since they don't know the genesis of the issue at hand .
