Sad news filtered in this morning about the demise of our own Susan Oluwabimpe Harvey popularly known as Goldie. The cause of her death remained unknown as at the time of filing this story, leaving many speculations as to what could have killed the Big Brother Africa star.
Goldie, acknowledged by fans and colleagues alike as a strong and creative woman, earned a place in the hearts of Nigerians through her hard work and dedication. Her debut album, Gold, which was a critical success, included provocative, smart, and infectious videos, including You Know It, JawoJawo and DTMB (Don’t Touch My Body), which are now certified street anthems with increasing followership.
Throughout her career, Goldie received numerous awards including Exquisite Lady of the Year (ELOY) Best Female Artiste award and City People Best Female Artiste of the year.
