Susan Oluwabimpe "Goldie" Filani Harvey (23 October 1983 – 14 February 2013) was a Nigerian professional singer and a Big Brother Africa star.
Susan Oluwabimpe "Goldie" Filani was born in Lagos. She graduated from the University of Sunderland in 2007 with a BA in Business Management. She was married to Andrew Harvey, an engineer based in Malaysia, in 2005, though this fact was not widely known before she died.
Harvey had won several African music awards including a Top Naija Music Award. She appeared on Big Brother Africa in 2012 which was her first TV appearance. She and Kenyan rapper Prezzo, another BBA housemate, appeared to have a close relationship on the show.
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. Although there were rumors that she may have used drugs that caused her death, her husband denied that possibility, 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." Goldie, 29 years old at the time of her death, was laid to rest at the Vaults and Gardens, Ikoyi, Lagos.
She was buried on the 25 February 2013 at the Vaults and Gardens Cemetery, Ikoyi, Lagos.
On 13 April 2013, press releases said that properties of Goldie Harvey has been willed to charity organisations.
