<p>When legendary director, John Singleton, passed away on April 29, 2019, following a massive stroke the week prior, countless celebrities paid homage to him and his legacy. One such celeb&#8217; stands out though &#8212; his ex-wife.</p>
<p>John only married once in his 51 years and that was to <em>The Color Purple</em> actress, Akosua Busia, who played &#8220;Celie&#8217;s&#8221; sister, &#8220;Nettie,&#8221; in the 1985 classic. Though their marriage was brief (1996- 1997), they created a beautiful life&#8230;their now 25-year-old daughter, Hadar Busia-Singleton.</p>
<figure style="width: 399px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/7e/89/d7/7e89d73b58628d962eb2a014a28383b8.jpg" width="399" height="400" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Akosua Busia as &#8220;Nettie&#8221; in &#8220;The Color Purple&#8221;</figcaption></figure>
<p>One day after their daughter paid homage to her Father, Akosua has now spoken out about her ex-husband as well. What the Ghanian actress revealed about their last moments with John, was as equally beautiful as it was heartbreaking.</p>
<p>Akosua also gave insight into the marital union she and John Singleton once shared.</p>
<h2>Here&#8217;s What Akosua Busia Revealed About Singleton&#8217;s Last Words To Her</h2>
<figure style="width: 564px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/6e/dc/e4/6edce41a77cac7fa5c8b9717b3ac5276.jpg" width="564" height="474" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">John Singleton with his ex-wife, Akosua Busia, and their daughter, Hadar (@akosua.busia Instagram)</figcaption></figure>
<p>In an emotional online post, Akosua shared several photos to go along with her touching homage.</p>
<p><strong>What Akosua Busia and Daughter Did After Singleton Took His Final Breathe</strong></p>
<p><figure style="width: 562px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/53/a6/82/53a6827a0f19b2a8c65dff7b48a6a24c.jpg" width="562" height="282" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Throwback photo of John Singleton and ex-wife/actress, Akosua Busia with their now 25-year-old daughter, Hadar Singleton [via Akosua Busia&#8217;s Instagram]</figcaption></figure>Akosua first explained how John Singleton&#8217;s peaceful demeanor during their marriage never wavered throughout his life, nor in death, as she and their daughter (recent photo of Hadar pictured below) said their final goodbyes to him in Cedars Sinai Hospital:</p>
<blockquote><p>Akosia Busia- &#8220;John&#8230;once was a husband; through trials of life you never raised your voice at me, nor I to you. That peace and warmth was there when Hadar and I held your hand once more before your body left.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>John&#8217;s Final Words To Ex-Wife, Akosua, Was About Their Daughter</strong></p>
<p><figure style="width: 476px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/39/9c/e0/399ce0ea60c81667504a9496e3ded4fe.jpg" width="476" height="562" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Hadar Busia-Singleton, daughter of John Singleton and Akosua Busia [Instagram]</figcaption></figure>John was definitely a family man, who maintained a close relationship with all of his children. But Akosua never expected her last conversation with John &#8212; about their daughter, Hadar &#8212; would be their last:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;On April 3rd when I sent you Hadar’s birthday photo and you wrote “Awwwww ‘so beautiful’ she’s on her way&#8230;” I never dreamed those would be your final words to me. Yes, our “baby” is on her way. You too&#8230; on your glorious journey ~ .&#8221; &#8211; Akosua Busia</p></blockquote>
<p>Not one to typically speak publicly about her ex-husband, Akosua Busia&#8217;s beautiful homage to John sums up the love and respect she has for the man she once called &#8216;husband.&#8217;</p>
<p>May John Singleton continue to rest in peace and power, as his impactful legacy continues to live on.</p>

<p>The adorable little girl in the above photo has touched the hearts of millions, with her performance in one of the most iconic Black films of all time. She&#8217;s also African royalty&#8230;literally! Many may either not know her name, or know how to properly pronounce her name&#8230;but that&#8217;s okay, because her face is all we need to see in order to know exactly who she is, and what she&#8217;s accomplished. If you think you&#8217;ve figured out who this precious baby grew up to be, get your scroll on and find out if your guess was good on this one&#8230;</p>
<h2>Who&#8217;s That Girl&#8230;Or Shall We Say, Princess?</h2>
<figure style="width: 562px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e2/b1/b5/e2b1b57d9c1cccf7d53084a8ed3b4374.jpg" width="562" height="291" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">&#8220;The Color Purple&#8221; actress/real-life African princess, Akosua Busia</figcaption></figure>
<p>If you guessed that the young girl chillin&#8217; on her mama&#8217;s lap is &#8220;Nettie&#8221; from &#8220;The Color Purple,&#8221; you&#8217;re right! If you didn&#8217;t choose her, then&#8230;well, you gotta step your game up fam,&#8217; &#x1f609;.</p>
<p>&#8220;Nettie&#8217;s&#8221; real name is Akosua Busia and she is not only a real life princess, she also has a beautiful daughter with her famous ex-husband. Read on for the scoop on that.</p>
<h2>Meet &#8220;Nettie&#8217;s&#8221; Royal Parents</h2>
<p>Akosua was born in Accra, Ghana, into the Yenfri Royal family in Wenchi in the Brong-Ahafo Region of Ghana. Her father, Dr. Kofi Abrefa Busia, was a  royal prince, who later became the Prime Minister (the President) of Ghana, making Akosua and her sister the &#8216;first kids&#8217; to the First Family of Ghana from 1969 to 1972. Prime Minister Kofi Abrefa Busia was married to the Busia sisters&#8217; mother, Naa Morkor Busia, up until the time of his passing. The former President Busia died from a heart attack in 1978 and his wife, Naa, passed away in 2010 from unknown causes.</p>
<figure style="width: 459px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/21/57/04/2157042139f2c575260327eb954d2f2b.jpg" width="459" height="541" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Akosua Busia</figcaption></figure>
<p>Prior to becoming the President of Ghana, Dr. Busia earned many degrees and studied at several prestigious universities. He also made history, by becoming the first African student to attend England&#8217;s infamous Oxford University in the early 1940&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Mr. and Mrs. Busia&#8217;s life&#8217;s work and dedication toward making Ghana a better place for their people, left a lasting impact on their children that will never be forgotten. In fact, to honor her mother on Mother&#8217;s Day 2017, Akosua posted a rare television clip of them putting in work as the first fam&#8217; of Ghana back then. Check out the clip below&#8230;</p>

<p>By the way, not only was Akosua&#8217;s mother beautiful, she represented class, style, and elegance, with such poise.</p>

<h2>John Singleton &amp; Akosua Busia Reunited For Daughter&#8217;s Graduation In 2016</h2>
<p>&#8220;Nettie&#8221; and the late John Singleton &#8212; who first blasted onto the Hollywood scene with his 1991 classic, Boyz &#8216;N The Hood&#8221;&#8211; dated for quite a while, ultimately getting married in October 1996. The then 30-year old Ghanian, West African born, Akosua, and then 28-year old California native, John, seemed like the perfect couple. But unfortunately, just a year after marriage, they divorced.</p>
<p>The beautiful blessing that transpired during their union, was that their now-25-year-old daughter, Hadar Busia-Singleton, was born (April 1997).</p>

<p>In 2016, the two former lovebirds happily reunited to watch their daughter make history for her college graduation. In her video caption, Akosua explained exactly how Hadar set a new precedent that she and John were beyond proud of:</p>
<blockquote><p>Akosua wrote, &#8220;Graduation Day! Our beloved daughter, Hadar Busia-Singleton, becomes the first ever Ghanaian to graduate from Interlochen Arts Academy, the Number One Performing arts school in America!!! Hallelujah! Amen! @hadsy #graduation&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>When legendary director, John Singleton, passed away on April 29, 2019, following a massive stroke the week prior, countless celebrities paid homage to him and his legacy. One such celeb&#8217; stands out though &#8212; his ex-wife.</p>
<p>John only married once in his 51 years and that was to <em>The Color Purple</em> actress, Akosua Busia, who played &#8220;Celie&#8217;s&#8221; sister, &#8220;Nettie,&#8221; in the 1985 classic. Though their marriage was brief (1996- 1997), they created a beautiful life&#8230;their now 25-year-old daughter, Hadar Busia-Singleton.</p>
<figure style="width: 399px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/7e/89/d7/7e89d73b58628d962eb2a014a28383b8.jpg" width="399" height="400" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Akosua Busia as &#8220;Nettie&#8221; in &#8220;The Color Purple&#8221;</figcaption></figure>
<p>One day after their daughter paid homage to her Father, Akosua has now spoken out about her ex-husband as well. What the Ghanian actress revealed about their last moments with John, was as equally beautiful as it was heartbreaking.</p>
<p>Akosua also gave insight into the marital union she and John Singleton once shared.</p>
<h2>Here&#8217;s What Akosua Busia Revealed About Singleton&#8217;s Last Words To Her</h2>
<figure style="width: 564px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/6e/dc/e4/6edce41a77cac7fa5c8b9717b3ac5276.jpg" width="564" height="474" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">John Singleton with his ex-wife, Akosua Busia, and their daughter, Hadar (@akosua.busia Instagram)</figcaption></figure>
<p>In an emotional online post, Akosua shared several photos to go along with her touching homage.</p>
<p><strong>What Akosua Busia and Daughter Did After Singleton Took His Final Breathe</strong></p>
<p><figure style="width: 562px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/53/a6/82/53a6827a0f19b2a8c65dff7b48a6a24c.jpg" width="562" height="282" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Throwback photo of John Singleton and ex-wife/actress, Akosua Busia with their now 25-year-old daughter, Hadar Singleton [via Akosua Busia&#8217;s Instagram]</figcaption></figure>Akosua first explained how John Singleton&#8217;s peaceful demeanor during their marriage never wavered throughout his life, nor in death, as she and their daughter (recent photo of Hadar pictured below) said their final goodbyes to him in Cedars Sinai Hospital:</p>
<blockquote><p>Akosia Busia- &#8220;John&#8230;once was a husband; through trials of life you never raised your voice at me, nor I to you. That peace and warmth was there when Hadar and I held your hand once more before your body left.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>John&#8217;s Final Words To Ex-Wife, Akosua, Was About Their Daughter</strong></p>
<p><figure style="width: 476px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/39/9c/e0/399ce0ea60c81667504a9496e3ded4fe.jpg" width="476" height="562" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Hadar Busia-Singleton, daughter of John Singleton and Akosua Busia [Instagram]</figcaption></figure>John was definitely a family man, who maintained a close relationship with all of his children. But Akosua never expected her last conversation with John &#8212; about their daughter, Hadar &#8212; would be their last:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;On April 3rd when I sent you Hadar’s birthday photo and you wrote “Awwwww ‘so beautiful’ she’s on her way&#8230;” I never dreamed those would be your final words to me. Yes, our “baby” is on her way. You too&#8230; on your glorious journey ~ .&#8221; &#8211; Akosua Busia</p></blockquote>
<p>Not one to typically speak publicly about her ex-husband, Akosua Busia&#8217;s beautiful homage to John sums up the love and respect she has for the man she once called &#8216;husband.&#8217;</p>
<p>May John Singleton continue to rest in peace and power, as his impactful legacy continues to live on.</p>

<p>True Old Schoolers remember actor, Ernest Harden Jr.,from his roles in various sitcoms and films back in the day, including &#8220;The Jeffersons,&#8221; the film &#8220;White Men Can&#8217;t Jump,&#8221; and many more. One of his most memorable roles was his guest appearance on &#8220;Good Times,&#8221; as J.J.&#8217;s art student, &#8220;Earl.&#8221; Remember that? That was the episode where &#8220;J.J.&#8221; decided to give art classes in their home in order to raise some extra money and &#8220;Earl&#8217;s&#8221; dad threatened to beat &#8220;Earl&#8221; to an oblivion for attending the classes.</p>
<p>Well, fast forward to decades later, and Ernest Harden Jr. dropped a bombshell revelation about his friends, Stevie Wonder and actress, Akosua Busia,  that most of us would not have expected.</p>
<h2>The Details Revealed&#8230;</h2>
<p>For decades, Stevie Wonder has kept this tidbit of info on the low, even though signs were there all along. But y&#8217;all know we&#8217;re truth gold diggers at ILOSM &#8212; always diggin&#8217; for truth &#8212; and oh the things we learn around here when we do a lil&#8217; diggin.&#8217;</p>

</blockquote>
<p><script async src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p>
<p>In an interview with Actors Entertainment (see video below, starts at 5:03 mark), Ernest revealed that his good friend/actress, Akosua Busia a.k.a. &#8220;Nettie&#8221; from &#8220;The Color Purple,&#8221; was in a serious relationship with Stevie Wonder back in the day. In fact, Ernest &#8212; a Detroit, MI native &#8212; says that&#8217;s how he became good friends with fellow Detroit native, Stevie.</p>
<p>They eventually became so cool, that Stevie would call him at 3 a.m.. sometimes. Why? Because Ernest explained that because Stevie is blind, he doesn&#8217;t necessarily have a concept of night and day, so whenever he&#8217;s up, he simply calls friends, or do what one may do at 12 noon, even if it&#8217;s the wee hours of the morning. Back to this whole &#8220;Nettie- Stevie coupled up thing though&#8230;</p>
<p><iframe title="Acting tips from Actor Ernest Harden Jr with Host Ron Brewington on ActorsE C" width="858" height="483" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TNmA0YknEmk?start=307&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Now, remember we said the signs were there all along? Well, we&#8217;ve seen Stevie and Akosua out at red carpet events together, but the vibe they&#8217;d always given off was one of mentor and mentee. Matter of fact, as we <a href="https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/color-purple-actress-celebrates-21st-birthday-of-her-john-singletons-gorgeous-daughter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">previously reported</a>, Stevie is the godparent of Akosua&#8217;s and the late director, John Singleton&#8217;s, now-24-year-old daughter, Hadar Busia-Singleton.</p>
<p>In addition to Stevie and Akosua frontin&#8217; for the cameras back in the day (I joke&#8230;I joke, I kid I kid&#8230;but it&#8217;s still true), Stevie is still very close to the &#8220;Color Purple&#8221; star and Hadar. As we also reported, Akosua co-wrote the song, &#8220;Moon Blue,&#8221; with Stevie Wonder, for his album, &#8220;A Time 2 Love.&#8221;</p>
<p>Akosua also oftentimes pays homage to the music genius as the &#8220;god-daddy&#8217; of her beautiful daughter. For example, for Stevie&#8217;s 70th birthday, Akosua paid tribute with the following <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CAIQZRIpoZQ/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">photo</a> and caption:</p>

<blockquote><p>Happy 70th Birthday Stevland. Thank you for being such a loyal and faithful friend throughout the years. Thank you for being such a dedicated and loving God-daddy to my daughter,[Hadar]. Thank you for being such a gift. May God give you many more years in which to bless the world with your presence. Thank you #StevieWonder #music #legend #genius #humanitarian</p></blockquote>
<p>In recent years, Stevie was visiting the mommy-daughter duo and took a moment to vibe with them, while singing and playing the piano, as seen in the post below&#8230;</p>

<p>And there ya&#8217; have it I Love Old School Music fam&#8217;&#8230;Ernest Harden Jr. has officially let the cat outta the bag about his two former-lovebird friends.</p>
<h2>What Ernest Harden Jr. Does Now</h2>
<p>Today, at 69 years young, Ernest is healthy and living life to the fullest. He has two adult children- a son and a daughter. He&#8217;s also still getting his acting on. A few years back, he starred in a one-man stage play titled, &#8220;Beethoven and The Misfortune Cookies,&#8221; which told an interesting true story of Beethoven through the eyes of the Black man that he actually was- unbeknownst to American history. Currently, Ernest Harden Jr. can be seen on TruTV&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/ErnestHardenJr/photos/a.249581581865274.1073741839.207918116031621/896295977193828/?type=3&amp;theater">Laff Mobb’s Laff Tracks</a>,&#8221; a half-hour comedy series, hosted by popular hip hop DJ/radio personality, Cipha Sounds.</p>

<p>It was years after &#8220;The Color Purple&#8221; released in 1985, that Akosua Busia, the actress who touched our souls as &#8220;Nettie,&#8221; was actually a real life African princess from a prominent royal African family. She hails from Accra, Ghana, West Africa and made her way to American superstardom through hard work and determination to be great, like her royal parents. As if that wasn&#8217;t already shocking enough, we&#8217;ve since learned that our girl, &#8220;Nettie,&#8221; has a sister, who&#8217;s been making major moves of her own across many continents.  Scroll down to see who Akosua&#8217;s sister is, as well as the greatness their parents accomplished&#8230;</p>

<h2>Who Are &#8220;Nettie&#8217;s&#8221; Royal Parents?</h2>
<p>Akosua and her sister, Abena Busia, were born in Accra, Ghana, into the Yenfri Royal family in Wenchi in the Brong-Ahafo Region of Ghana. Their father, Dr. Kofi Abrefa Busia, was a  royal prince, who later became the Prime Minister (the President) of Ghana, making Abena and Akosua the first kids to the first family of Ghana from 1969 to 1972. Prime Minister Kofi Abrefa Busia was married to the Busia sisters&#8217; mother, Naa Morkor Busia, up until the time of his passing. The former President Busia died from a heart attack in 1978 and his wife, Naa, passed away in 2010 from unknown causes.</p>
<p>Prior to becoming President of Ghana, Dr. Busia earned many degrees and studied at several prestigious universities. He also made history, by becoming the first African student to attend England&#8217;s infamous Oxford University in the early 1940&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Mr. and Mrs. Busia&#8217;s life&#8217;s work and dedication toward making Ghana a better place for their people, left a lasting impact on their children that will never be forgotten. In fact, to honor her mother on Mother&#8217;s Day 2017, Akosua posted a rare television clip of them putting in work as the first fam&#8217; of Ghana back then. Check out the clip below&#8230;</p>

<p>By the way, not only was Abena and Akosua&#8217;s mother beautiful, she represented class, style, and elegance, with such poise.</p>
<p>Akosua also paid homage to her beloved father:</p>

<h2>Meet &#8220;Nettie&#8217;s&#8221; Sister</h2>
<p>Now that we&#8217;ve covered who their royal parents are, let us introduce y&#8217;all to Akosua&#8217;s sister and the big moves she&#8217;s making in her career. Meet Abena Busia, the 67 year old big sister to Akosua&#8230;</p>

<p>Abena chose a different path than her sister: she&#8217;s an professor, writer, poet, feminist, and lecturer, as well as a diplomat and ambassador for their country, Ghana. Following in her Pops&#8217; footsteps, Abena has also studied at several universities, including Yale and Oxford. She&#8217;s currently a professor of Literature in English and women&#8217;s/gender studies at Rutger&#8217;s University in New Jersey.</p>
<p>In 2017, the President of Ghana, Pres. Nana Akuffo-Addo, appointed Abena Busia as Ghana&#8217;s ambassador to Brazil. As of today, she helps to serve Ghana within several South American countries. Here is what her sis,&#8217; Akosua, explained about that in an online tribute to Abena:</p>

She is a blessing; she is #blessed &#x1f64f;&#x1f3fe;</p></blockquote>
<p>In addition to her work as an educator and ambassador for Ghana, Abena is grateful for the opportunities to bring awareness to societal issues, those titles allow her:</p>

<p>If their parents were alive today, pretty sure they would be BEYOND proud of the life accomplishments their children have made. Thanks to Akosua, Abena, and their parents for inspiring so many who will come after them.</p>

<p>True Old Schoolers remember actor, Ernest Harden Jr.,from his roles in various sitcoms and films back in the day, including &#8220;The Jeffersons,&#8221; the film &#8220;White Men Can&#8217;t Jump,&#8221; and many more. One of his most memorable roles was his guest appearance on &#8220;Good Times,&#8221; as J.J.&#8217;s art student, &#8220;Earl.&#8221; Remember that? That was the episode where &#8220;J.J.&#8221; decided to give art classes in their home in order to raise some extra money and &#8220;Earl&#8217;s&#8221; dad threatened to beat &#8220;Earl&#8221; to an oblivion for attending the classes.</p>
<p>Well, fast forward to now and Ernest Harden Jr. has dropped a bombshell revelation about his friends, Stevie Wonder that most of us would not have expected.</p>
<figure style="width: 563px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full-size" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/8d/1e/fd/8d1efd2a7c8c7381aa3f2ce2218f6bef.jpg" width="563" height="293" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Ernest Harden Jr (L and inset photo); Stevie Wonder (R)</figcaption></figure>
<h2>Do You Wish They Would Have Stayed Together?</h2>
<p>For decades, Stevie Wonder has kept this tidbit of info on the low, even though signs were there all along. But y&#8217;all know we, here at ILOSM, are truth gold diggers, always diggin&#8217; for truth&#8230;and oh the things we learn &#8217;round here when we do a lil&#8217; diggin.&#8217;</p>
<p>https://www.instagram.com/p/BYMKZbUntbc/</p>
<p>In an interview with Actors Entertainment (see video below, starts at 5:03 mark), Ernest revealed that his good friend/actress, Akosua Busia a.k.a. &#8220;Nettie&#8221; from &#8220;The Color Purple,&#8221; was in a serious relationship with Stevie Wonder back in the day. In fact, Ernest- a Detroit, MI native- says that&#8217;s how he became good friends with fellow Detroit native, Stevie. They eventually became so cool, that Stevie would call him at 3 a.m.. sometimes. Why? Because Ernest explained that because Stevie is blind, he doesn&#8217;t necessarily have a concept of night and day, so whenever he&#8217;s up, he simply calls friends, or do what one may do at 12 noon, even if it&#8217;s the wee hours of the morning. Back to this whole &#8220;Nettie- Stevie coupled up thing though&#8230;</p>
<p><iframe title="Acting tips from Actor Ernest Harden Jr with Host Ron Brewington on ActorsE C" width="858" height="483" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TNmA0YknEmk?start=307&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Now, remember we said the signs were there all along? Well, we&#8217;ve seen Stevie and Akosua out at red carpet events together, but the vibe they&#8217;d always given off was one of mentor and mentee. Matter of fact, as we <a href="https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/color-purple-actress-celebrates-21st-birthday-of-her-john-singletons-gorgeous-daughter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">previously reported</a>, Stevie is the godparent of Akosua&#8217;s and director, John Singleton&#8217;s, now 21 year old daughter, Hadar Busia-Singleton.</p>
<p>In addition to Stevie and Akosua frontin&#8217; for the cameras back in the day (I joke&#8230;I joke, I kid I kid&#8230;but it&#8217;s still true), Stevie is still very close to the &#8220;Color Purple&#8221; star and Hadar. As we also reported, Akosua co-wrote the song, &#8220;Moon Blue,&#8221; with her Stevie Wonder, for his album, &#8220;A Time 2 Love.&#8221;</p>
<p>Akosua also oftentimes pays homage to the music genius as the &#8220;god-daddy&#8217; of her beautiful daughter. It was just recently that Stevie was visiting the mommy-daughter duo and took a moment to vibe with them, while singing and playing the piano.</p>
<p>https://www.instagram.com/p/BSaUazsjffw/</p>
<p>Not sure if John Singleton ever knew his ex-wife, Akosua, and his daughter&#8217;s godparent had a thing going on back in the day. However, if he didn&#8217;t know then, he sure does now because Ernest Harden Jr. has officially let that cat outta the bag.</p>
<h2>What Ernest Harden Jr. Does Now</h2>
<p>Today, at 65 years young, Ernest is healthy and living life to the fullest. He has two adult children- a son and a daughter. He&#8217;s also still getting his acting on. A few years back, he starred in a one-man stage play titled, &#8220;Beethoven and The Misfortune Cookies,&#8221; which told an interesting true story of Beethoven through the eyes of the Black man that he actually was- unbeknownst to American history. Currently, Ernest Harden Jr. can be seen on TruTV&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/ErnestHardenJr/photos/a.249581581865274.1073741839.207918116031621/896295977193828/?type=3&amp;theater">Laff Mobb’s Laff Tracks</a>,&#8221; a half-hour comedy series, hosted by popular hip hop DJ/radio personality, Cipha Sounds.</p>

When legendary director, John Singleton, passed away on April 29, 2019, following a massive stroke the week prior, countless celebrities paid homage to him and his legacy. One such celeb&#8217; stands out though- his ex-wife.</p>
<p>John only married once in his 51 years and that was to <em>The Color Purple</em> actress, Akosua Busia, who played &#8220;Celie&#8217;s&#8221; sister, &#8220;Nettie,&#8221; in the 1985 classic. Though their marriage was brief (1996- 1997), they created a beautiful life- their daughter, Hadar Singleton.</p>
<figure id="attachment_107021" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-107021" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-107021" src="https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-30-at-7.53.10-PM.png" alt="" width="710" height="400" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-107021" class="wp-caption-text">Akosua Busia as &#8220;Nettie&#8221; in &#8220;The Color Purple&#8221;</figcaption></figure>
<p>One day after their daughter paid homage to her Father, Akosua has now spoken out about her ex-husband as well. What the Ghanian actress revealed about their last moments with John, was as equally beautiful, as it was heartbreaking.</p>
<p>Akosua also gave insight into the marital union she and John Singleton once shared&#8230;</p>

<p>As we continue to mourn the passing of beloved director, John Singleton, our hearts ache for his children as well. John passed away on Monday April 29th, after he was taken off life support, following the massive stroke he&#8217;d suffered the week prior. After his untimely death at just 51 years old, some of Singleton&#8217;s children have now spoken out, including his daughter with actress, Akosua Busia a.k.a. &#8220;Nettie&#8221; from <em>The Color Purple.</em></p>
<p>Their daughter, Hadar Singleton, was born in 1991, just 6 years after her Father directed one of the most iconic films of the 90&#8217;s, <em>Boyz N the Hood</em> (1991); and 11 years after her Mom starred as &#8220;Nettie&#8221; in one of the most iconic films of the 80&#8217;s, <em>The Color Purple</em> (1985). </p>
<p>Throughout her 22 years of life, Hadar was extremely close to her Dad and now, she&#8217;s publicly expressed her immense pain after losing him, in a short and sweet online tribute.</p>

<p>The adorable little girl in the above photo has touched the hearts of millions, with her performance in one of the most iconic Black films of all time. She&#8217;s also African royalty&#8230;literally! Many may either not know her name, or know how to properly pronounce her name&#8230;but that&#8217;s okay, because her face is all we need to see in order to know exactly who she is and what she&#8217;s accomplished. If you think you&#8217;ve figured out who this precious baby grew up to be, get your scroll on and find out if you&#8217;re correct on this one&#8230;</p>
<h2>Who&#8217;s That Girl&#8230;Or Shall We Say, Princess?</h2>

<p>If you guessed that the young girl chillin&#8217; on her mama&#8217;s lap is &#8220;Nettie&#8221; from &#8220;The Color Purple,&#8221; you&#8217;re right! If you didn&#8217;t choose her, then&#8230;well, you gotta step your game up fam,&#8217; LOL.</p>
<p>&#8220;Nettie&#8217;s&#8221; real name is Akosua Busia and she is not only a real life princess, she also has a beautiful daughter with her famous ex-husband. Read on for the scoop on that.</p>
<h2>Meet &#8220;Nettie&#8217;s&#8221; Royal Parents</h2>
<p>Akosua was born in Accra, Ghana, into the Yenfri Royal family in Wenchi in the Brong-Ahafo Region of Ghana. Her father, Dr. Kofi Abrefa Busia, was a  royal prince, who later became the Prime Minister (the President) of Ghana, making Akosua and her sister the &#8216;first kids&#8217; to the First Family of Ghana from 1969 to 1972. Prime Minister Kofi Abrefa Busia was married to the Busia sisters&#8217; mother, Naa Morkor Busia, up until the time of his passing. The former President Busia died from a heart attack in 1978 and his wife, Naa, passed away in 2010 from unknown causes.</p>

<p>Prior to becoming the President of Ghana, Dr. Busia earned many degrees and studied at several prestigious universities. He also made history, by becoming the first African student to attend England&#8217;s infamous Oxford University in the early 1940&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Mr. and Mrs. Busia&#8217;s life&#8217;s work and dedication toward making Ghana a better place for their people, left a lasting impact on their children that will never be forgotten. In fact, to honor her mother on Mother&#8217;s Day 2017, Akosua posted a rare television clip of them putting in work as the first fam&#8217; of Ghana back then. Check out the clip below&#8230;</p>

<p>By the way, not only was Akosua&#8217;s mother beautiful, she represented class, style, and elegance, with such poise.</p>
<p>Akosua also paid homage to her beloved father:</p>

<blockquote><p>My father, His Excellency, Dr. Kofi Abrefa Busia, giving his inauguration speech as Head of State at Black Star Square in 1969 ~ Flashback 4 Instagram posts and see our new President, Nana, Akuffo-Addo, quote these exact words in his own Inauguration speech at Black Star Square in 2017! This footage is from the the documentary I directed: THE PROF. A MAN REMEMBERED.</p></blockquote>
<h2>John Singleton &amp; Akosua Busia Reunite For Daughter&#8217;s Graduation</h2>
<p>&#8220;Nettie&#8221; and John Singleton -who first blasted onto the Hollywood scene with his 1991 classic, Boyz &#8216;N The Hood&#8221;- dated for quite a while and ultimately married on October 12, 1996. The then 30-year old Ghanian, West African born, Akosua, and then 28-year old California native, John, seemed like the perfect couple. But unfortunately, just a year after marriage, they divorced.</p>
<p>Their beautiful blessing that happened during their union, was that their 21 year old daughter, Hadar Busia-Singleton, was born (April 3, 1997).</p>

<p>The two former lovebirds happily reunited to (in the Instagram video below) watch their daughter make history for her 2016 college graduation. In her video caption, Akosua explained exactly how Hadar set a new precedent that they are beyond proud of:</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>True Old Schoolers remember actor, Ernest Harden Jr.,from his roles in various sitcoms and films back in the day, including &#8220;The Jeffersons,&#8221; the film &#8220;White Men Can&#8217;t Jump,&#8221; and many more. One of his most memorable roles was his guest appearance on &#8220;Good Times,&#8221; as J.J.&#8217;s art student, &#8220;Earl.&#8221; Remember that? That was the episode where &#8220;J.J.&#8221; decided to give art classes in their home in order to raise some extra money and &#8220;Earl&#8217;s&#8221; dad threatened to beat &#8220;Earl&#8221; to an oblivion for attending the classes.</p>
<p>Well, fast forward to now and Ernest Harden Jr. has dropped a bombshell revelation about his friends, Stevie Wonder that most of us would not have expected.</p>

<h2>Do You Wish They Would Have Stayed Together?</h2>
<p>For decades, Stevie Wonder has kept this tidbit of info on the low, even though signs were there all along. But y&#8217;all know we, here at ILOSM, are truth gold diggers, always diggin&#8217; for truth&#8230;and oh the things we learn &#8217;round here when we do a lil&#8217; diggin.&#8217;</p>
<p>https://www.instagram.com/p/BYMKZbUntbc/</p>
<p>In an interview with Actors Entertainment (see video below, starts at 5:03 mark), Ernest revealed that his good friend/actress, Akosua Busia a.k.a. &#8220;Nettie&#8221; from &#8220;The Color Purple,&#8221; was in a serious relationship with Stevie Wonder back in the day. In fact, Ernest- a Detroit, MI native- says that&#8217;s how he became good friends with fellow Detroit native, Stevie. They eventually became so cool, that Stevie would call him at 3 a.m.. sometimes. Why? Because Ernest explained that because Stevie is blind, he doesn&#8217;t necessarily have a concept of night and day, so whenever he&#8217;s up, he simply calls friends, or do what one may do at 12 noon, even if it&#8217;s the wee hours of the morning. Back to this whole &#8220;Nettie- Stevie coupled up thing though&#8230;</p>
<p><iframe title="Acting tips from Actor Ernest Harden Jr with Host Ron Brewington on ActorsE C" width="858" height="483" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TNmA0YknEmk?start=307&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Now, remember we said the signs were there all along? Well, we&#8217;ve seen Stevie and Akosua out at red carpet events together, but the vibe they&#8217;d always given off was one of mentor and mentee. Matter of fact, as we <a href="https://www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/color-purple-actress-celebrates-21st-birthday-of-her-john-singletons-gorgeous-daughter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">previously reported</a>, Stevie is the godparent of Akosua&#8217;s and director, John Singleton&#8217;s, now 21 year old daughter, Hadar Busia-Singleton.</p>
<p>In addition to Stevie and Akosua frontin&#8217; for the cameras back in the day (I joke&#8230;I joke, I kid I kid&#8230;but it&#8217;s still true), Stevie is still very close to the &#8220;Color Purple&#8221; star and Hadar. As we also reported, Akosua co-wrote the song, &#8220;Moon Blue,&#8221; with her Stevie Wonder, for his album, &#8220;A Time 2 Love.&#8221;</p>
<p>Akosua also oftentimes pays homage to the music genius as the &#8220;god-daddy&#8217; of her beautiful daughter. It was just recently that Stevie was visiting the mommy-daughter duo and took a moment to vibe with them, while singing and playing the piano.</p>
<p>https://www.instagram.com/p/BSaUazsjffw/</p>
<p>Not sure if John Singleton ever knew his ex-wife, Akosua, and his daughter&#8217;s godparent had a thing going on back in the day. However, if he didn&#8217;t know then, he sure does now because Ernest Harden Jr. has officially let that cat outta the bag.</p>
<h2>What Ernest Harden Jr. Does Now</h2>
<p>Today, at 65 years young, Ernest is healthy and living life to the fullest. He has two adult children- a son and a daughter. He&#8217;s also still getting his acting on. A few years back, he starred in a one-man stage play titled, &#8220;Beethoven and The Misfortune Cookies,&#8221; which told an interesting true story of Beethoven through the eyes of the Black man that he actually was- unbeknownst to American history. Currently, Ernest Harden Jr. can be seen on TruTV&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/ErnestHardenJr/photos/a.249581581865274.1073741839.207918116031621/896295977193828/?type=3&amp;theater">Laff Mobb’s Laff Tracks</a>,&#8221; a half-hour comedy series, hosted by popular hip hop DJ/radio personality, Cipha Sounds.</p>
