Susan Oluwabimpe "Goldie" Filani Harvey (23 October 1983 – 14 February 2013) was a Nigerian professional singer and a Big Brother Africa star.[1]

She was married to Andrew Harvey. She graduated from the University of Sunderland in 2007 with a BA in Business Management.[2]

Goldie had won several African music awards[3] including the Top Naija Award. She appeared on Big Brother Africa in 2012 which was her first TV appearance. Allegedly, she and rapper Prezzo another BBA housemate had a close relationship.

After returning home to Nigeria from the 2013 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California, she complained of a headache and was rushed to hospital where she was later pronounced dead.[4][5][6][7][8][9] It was revealed through an autopsy, conducted by The Department of Pathology and Forensic Medicine of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, that the Nigerian pop star died of ‘hypertensive heart disease,’ which triggered an “intracerebellar hemorrhage." [10] Goldie, 29 years old at the time of her death,[11] was laid to rest at the Vaults and Gardens, Ikoyi, Lagos.[12]
