“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, deserves 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.”
