‘Honouring Your Death Is Honouring Life’ - Kojo Antwi’s Farewell To The Late Lilian Blankson

Kojo Antwi has given a tearful farewell to the late Lilian Blankson.

The prominent Ghanaian-American BET Alumna, who has been an instrumental force in putting Ghana on the world map especially when it comes to the BETs, died on Sunday, July 4 at the tender age of 46.

In her efforts to include Africans in the BET awards during her lifetime, the CEO of LNB Entertainment, an author and content creator played a major role in increasing Ghana's representation at the awards while also going a long way in helping to create the BET African category.

Since the news of her death, Ghanaian celebrities have been outing in tributes signifying that they understand the extent of the loss the Ghanaian entertainment has suffered.

Sarkodie, Edem, Wondaboy, Lydia Forson, Margaret Akullo, and many more have all dropped mini tributes, but Kojo Antwi has surpassed them all with his deep words on his social media page.

Read his full inspiring tribute below:

Their spirit lives on in the memories of those who appreciate and honour them.

Friends are the family we choose”, a saying Lilian Blankson brought to reality when our relationship progressed from friends to family. The realization of you not being here is a deep gut to my heart.

Dear Sister, honouring your death is truly about honouring your remarkable life and your influence on my life.

The greatest lyricist to ever walk this earth” you called me and in my journey as a musician, you, amongst most, deserve an honourable mention for your massive contributions and directions. You brought African Music to the BET and made the African Music we make highly graded and recognized.

You opened a whole new chapter for us, for Africa. Without your contribution, efforts, and involvement with the BET, a lot of the great developments and recognitions today may not have happened.

You made all this possible as the remarkable woman you are.

Rest In Peace my dear friend Lilian Blankson. ????
