"We Won’t Have A Funeral For My Father" - Mzbel Opens Up On Death of Her Father

Prior to the death of her father, songstress, Mzbel, had so many plans she wanted to carry out but she has had to put all that on hold till after the father’s 40 days celebration.

Mzbel’s dad, Alhaji Ibrahim A Amoah, died on Saturday, January 29 at the age of 75 and has since been buried according to Islamic custom.

Graphic Showbiz caught up with the artiste at her restaurant Bela's Pub and Restaurant located at Gbawe last Thursday where people came to sympathise with her and she disclosed that it had been a confusing time.

“I am confused, I haven’t experienced anything like this because when my mother died, I was 18 years so there was no responsibility on me. But with this, everyone is saying something, we are holding meetings here and there and all that.

“Apart from that, my Dad died well. He was a Muslim so we won’t have a funeral for him. Before he died, he told us not to hold any funeral for him when he passes on so we are abiding by that.

“We will just hold prayers for him on March 5 at my residence at Mallam Gbawe. We are in talks with the National Chief Imam to come and lead the prayers,” she stated.

On what projects she was working on which had been interrupted by her father’s death, Mzbel stated that “I have moved my restaurant and pub from Adjei Kojo, Tema West to where the children’s playground is at Mallam-Gbawe so it is a one stop entertainment centre and we are working on putting the place together.

“My studio and editing bench is also located at the same venue. We were scheduled to officially open the place on February 14 but as things are now, we have to wait till everything is over.
