Speaking on Joy Prime’s Changes on Tuesday, July 23, 2025, Poloo said that during the early stages of her career, media interest in her work was virtually nonexistent.

“At first when I started, I was paying for people to insult me for about a year. I’ve been in the game and no one calls me and I was not getting anything,” she told host Roselyn Felli.

“But after that, people were calling me for interviews, skin care deals. Stars would call me to dance or twerk on their songs and they would pay me. Even Fameye was giving me GH¢5,000 to twerk on his song.”

According to her, the plan worked—boosting her popularity and earning her opportunities in the entertainment industry. Musicians began paying her to promote their songs through dancing and twerking videos, which she said also helped her financially.

She cited musician Fameye as one of the artistes who paid her for promotional work.

Reflecting on her early acting career, Poloo said she was once paid as little as GH¢20 for certain roles. However, she noted that her involvement with GBC’s Obra series came with better pay, thanks to veteran actress Maame Dokono.

“As for the acting, GH¢20. With GBC, they were giving me something better because of legendary Maame Dokono—she was taking good care of us, but with the others, it was GH¢20,” she recounted.

She says she struggles to understand why some people refuse to acknowledge her as one.

Poloo raised the concern during an interview on Joy Prime’s Changes show with Roselyn Felli on Wednesday, July 23, 2025.

During the conversation, Roselyn Felli asked, “How did you become a celebrity? People say you’re not a celebrity, but I think you’re a celebrity because a celebrity is one who has a fanbase—and Akuapem Poloo has a fan base.”

Responding to the host, she said, “I don’t just have a fan base. I’ve done a lot of movies—Odo Lastic, Sala with Jackie Appiah, Away Bus—a lot of movies. So how many movies do you want me to do before you call me a celebrity?”

Explaining how she gained traction on social media, Poloo revealed that she collaborated with a blogger known for creating controversial posts about celebrities to generate attention for herself.

“I saw the page talking about celebrities only in a negative way. So I asked myself why the person was fighting all the celebrities. I reached out to her, and she responded after three months. I told her I wanted her to do an advert about me on her page.”

According to her, the blogger initially resisted, but she paid for the post due to her desperation for fame. The blogger then staged a fight with her, claiming Poloo had called her a prostitute. Poloo said she was instructed to record videos responding to the blogger, who would then insult her online, especially on Instagram and Facebook.

“I had to do it because I had been in the industry for many years without recognition.”

After the incident, Poloo said the plan worked—she began receiving ambassadorial deals and interview invitations from TV stations. She concluded that the strategy significantly impacted her career growth.

According to Mr. Savage, Poloo accused the production team of failing to properly brief her about the nature of the interview — a claim he strongly refutes.

“I sent her links three weeks ahead of the shoot to give her a clear idea of the show’s format and explained everything,” he said.

Speaking in an interview on Daybreak Hitz, Mr. Savage explained that his show is entirely unscripted, with all the heated moments captured on set being real.

He insisted that Akuapem Poloo was adequately informed but became visibly upset over some of the questions posed during the recording.

He revealed that not only did Poloo verbally attack him, but she also assaulted him in a manner no guest had dared before.

Mr. Savage added that Poloo became even more irate after the interview was posted online, expressing strong displeasure and accusing the team of betrayal.

“She took it very seriously and even threatened to take legal action against us. But at no point did she instruct us not to publish the interview,” he clarified.

Despite the backlash, the episode has stirred significant attention online, with many viewers questioning the limits of unscripted interviews and guest preparedness.

In an interview on Accra FM, Akuapem Poloo, whose real name is Rosemond Brown, shared her ongoing distress over the incident that led to her arrest in 2020.

The photo, which she posted on social media to celebrate her son’s seventh birthday, stirred massive public outrage and legal repercussions.

“Since childhood, till now, my only regret is the picture I took with my son. Aside from that, I have no regrets. The memory is seriously haunting me,” Poloo confessed. She expressed her anxiety about how her son would perceive and understand the situation as he grows older. “I’m thinking about my son, he’ll grow up. As he is growing now, he’s asking a lot of questions already.”

As a single mother, Poloo is concerned about how she will explain the incident to her son in a way that he can comprehend. “I need to prepare myself for how I’ll answer him for him to understand the situation of how his nakedness and he, standing in front of me as if he’s looking at mummy’s nakedness, will sound in his mind. That is my only regret,” she stated.

Meanwhile, the controversy began in July 2020 when Akuapem Poloo posted the nude photo of herself with her son on social media.

The backlash was immediate and severe, leading to her arrest and subsequent legal battles.

In April 2021, the Accra High Court sentenced her to three months in prison, intending to deter others from similar actions.

Akuapem Poloo pleaded guilty to charges including the publication of obscene material, engaging in domestic violence by undermining the privacy and integrity of another person, and engaging in domestic violence detrimental to the dignity of another human being.

Despite her professional success and influence, this incident remains a poignant reminder of the challenges and responsibilities that come with public life and parenthood.

Poloo’s reflections highlight the enduring impact of past actions and the importance of considering their long-term effects on loved ones.

Poloo posted the message on her Instagram platform, encouraging her followers to be content with themselves and not be intimidated by the lavish lifestyle by some personalities.

She reminded her followers that appearances can be deceptive, reiterating the famous quote, all that glitters is not gold”.

The socialite added that, the situation is ironical since the same people who look down on others usually suffer public embarrassment for their shady secrets.

In a world where individuals tend to look up to others, Poloo words serve as a reminder to look beyond the facade displayed on social media, and select mentors who are inspiring.

She added that, some individuals might even be far better than their supposed mentors.

The celebrities have promoted the GoFundMe campaign aimed at raising $10,000 for Moesha.

The funds will be used to cover medical expenses, therapy sessions, assistive devices, and any other resources needed to aid her recovery.

Currently, the life-altering stroke has also affected Moesha’s ability to move.

Efya urged Ghanaians to support, admonishing that every penny will go a long way in fighting the health battle.

Akuapem Poloo also took to social media to share fond memories of her encounters with Moesha.

Expressing concern over the seriousness of Moesha’s condition, Poloo called on her followers to join hands and contribute to supporting Moesha during this challenging time.

“Oh sis, I didn’t know things had gotten this serious ?‍♀️. God, please have mercy and heal my sis @moeshaboduong for me ?. Fam, please in any way we can help to support her so she gets better, please with God, let’s do it. Our sister needs our help now,” Akuapem Poloo wrote.

Both celebrities have pledged to contribute their own quota to help raise the targeted $10,000 for Moesha’s stroke treatment.

After traveling to Accra from Akuapem to seek greener pastures, she revealed she was paid GH¢170 monthly.

However, she learnt financial management and tried to utilize the little she had to cater for all her needs.

Poloo made the comments while adding her two cents to the ongoing controversy about Kuami Eugene and his former house help, Mary.

The actress descended heavily on bloggers who interviewed Mary to disclose private information and the ordeal she supposedly suffered while living with Eugene.

Poloo attributed Mary’s smear campaign to ingratitude, remarking that the GH¢600 Mary claimed to have been paid is enough to feed her monthly.

“Do you think it is okay for someone to house you, feed and cloth you and do everything for you and still pay you GH¢600 monthly? Ask corporate workers how much they are paid and what remains after they settle their daily expenses including food, transport and utilities and see if you are not better off than most of them,” a charged Poloo fumed.

She advised Mary to be grateful for the opportunity Kuami Eugene gave her to and let his name rest.

Flatello, a social media personality claimed he had dated Akuapem Poloo and slept with her multiple times.

Poloo who vehemently denied the assertion had a wonderful opportunity to give him a taste of his own medicine.

The actress who had gone for an interview at the studios of blogger, Nkonkonsa, ran into Flatello on on November 9, 2023.

Again, the young man subjected Poloo to public ridicule and questioned the show host why he invited her to the studio.

“So, this girl will be part of the engagement and no one told me about it? What kind of move is that? You should have told me she was coming. Did you guys deliberately set me up?” he fumed.

A livid Akuapem Poloo walked straight at Flatello and gave him some dirty slaps.

An angry Flatello wanted to retaliate but was stopped by the host.

The video has gone viral and drawn lots of reactions on social media.

Ayisha Modi had previously stated in interviews that she gifted Poloo half plot of land located at Manhyia in Accra.

The motive for the gesture, she indicated was to alleviate Poloo’s financial burdens, particularly in caring for her son.

This act of generosity was after Poloo’s arrest on charges of indecent exposure for posting nude photos to celebrate her son’s birthday.

Ayisha mentioned in the interview that, she delegated the distribution of the lands to her staff, who were supposed to call the beneficiaries and have a legal change of ownership.

To her knowledge, those she promised have received their gifts, and she is forced to believe Poloo is one of them.

In response to these claims, Poloo said she never received any land from Ayisha Modi.

She explained that, if she had indeed received such a gift, she would have thanked Ayisha publicly because she is not ungrateful.

Poloo clarified her stance in a social media post, stating:

“I told you the last time and I will say it again, bro, I didn’t get any land from anyone. Before God and man, I was being taken to see a land, but I didn’t hear from anyone again, hun. I’m not ungrateful. Since 2018, even if someone dashes me a bag of water, I post it here on my platform to show appreciation.”

The photos and messages has resonated with her fans who have applauded her resilience despite the many setbacks she has faced.

The actress shared the photos as a way to prove a point and send a message to her critics that she is educated and she has always been a baddie.

In the throwback photos, Akuapem Poloo can be seen in her school uniform, with a big smile on her face.

The photos showcase her younger self and highlight her journey from her school days to her current status as a popular figure in the entertainment industry.

Some photos captured her JHS days while others also captured her days in Suhum SHS.

By sharing these throwback photos, Akuapem Poloo aims to remind her followers and critics that she had humble beginnings and has come a long way in her life.

As expected, the throwback photos have generated a lot of reactions and engagement on social media.

Many of Akuapem Poloo’s fans and followers have complimented her unchanging beauty while others praised her for her resilience and determination to succeed.

Poloo in a recent interview with Sammy Kay discussed the intense sensitivity and pleasure associated with clitoral stimulation, as well as potential health concerns.

“To me, when my partner stimulates my clitoral area, I notice that I become more sensitive, and as a result, I tend to urinate more frequently throughout the week. It’s just something I’ve observed,” Poloo explained, shedding light on her personal experiences.

While acknowledging the immense pleasure derived from clitoral stimulation, Poloo emphasised the importance of balance and diversity in sexual experiences. She emphasized that solely relying on clitoral stimulation without engaging in other forms of sexual intimacy, such as involving the man’s genitalia, could potentially lead to health issues such as strokes.

“If you exclusively focus on clitoral stimulation without involving the man’s genitalia and instead rely on using another woman’s body, there is a risk of health problems, including strokes. The intense pleasure can have consequences if not balanced with other forms of sexual intimacy,” Poloo cautioned.

The two, who were on the set of an upcoming movie, took advantage of their leisure time to eulogise each other in a romantic manner.

Earlier reports suggested that the two are lovers, but they were quick to debunk the claims, describing each other as father and daughter.

However, the latest video captured them planting pecks on each other’s cheeks, amid a proposal from Kofi Adjorlolo seeking the hand of the mother-of-one in marriage.

“I am left with two years to be 70. If we were in America, she will be my wife. I wanna marry a young girl but in Ghana here, when you go for a small girl, they will talk talk,” he joked.

Poloo joined in the joke and revealed she is ever ready to be Mrs Adjorlolo.

Akuapem Poloo claims that she met her son’s father when she was young, and despite his promise to marry her before she got pregnant, plans changed.

Their relationship ended after she gave birth, leaving her a single mother.

Speaking to KMJ on Prime Morning on Friday, the actress stated that she has learned her lesson and will definitely not repeat her mistakes, especially now that she has matured and has stopped living a fake life on social media.

Akuapem Poloo is more than ready to have more children, but only after marrying a responsible, family-oriented man.

“Now that I am matured and of age, I want to add another one to my baby. Yes, I really want to give birth. I have asked Allah to help me get married first. I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes again because, by then, I was young and in my youth. Now I want to get married before I give birth, but I want that to happen either this year or next year,” she said.

The Ghanaian socialite stated that nowadays, dating is more difficult than marriage, which is why she has been dating her boyfriend for seven years.

According to her, dating for seven years was a smart option since it will allow her to study and understand her partner when she eventually marries.

“For the past seven years I have been dating, and I am still dating. The intention of not repeating the same mistakes is the reason I am dating this guy. Although I don’t regret giving birth, I regret not getting married to the man I gave birth with.

“I love the seven years because we’ve known each other well and I know what he wants and what he doesn’t want. If I have been able to endure for seven years, I will have had experience before marriage. Nowadays, dating is even harder than marriage,” she said.

Actress Akuapem Poloo stated that many Ghanaian girls find themselves in toxic relationships because of how cheap they have made sex. She explained that, men woo girls with money only to leave them after sex.

She, however, advised Ghanaian girls to be careful of such men and strive for healthy relationships.

Poloo, who stays alone with her nine-year-old son, said her home was invaded by a 23-year-old boy who managed to walk into her compound and to her room upstairs.

However, she was saved by some friends who had come visiting, causing the suspect to be taken aback upon spotting one of the gentlemen.

Upon confrontation, he confessed to being after Akuapem Poloo but appeared incoherent when asked his mission into her chambers.

The suspect was marched to the police station where he reportedly confessed to being hired by some persons to stab Poloo.

He named an accomplice, a taxi driver who was in waiting five houses away from Poloo’s home. He was also subsequently arrested.

However, a distraught Poloo said in a live video that the taxi driver disassociated himself from the crime and explained that he was only hired by the first suspect to drive him to the location.

But, Poloo said a review of the CCTV captured the car circling around her home over five times before parking in the dark and allowing the suspect sneak through.

Both suspects are in detention at the police station.

Amid tears, Poloo begged for all who have harboured some resentments towards her to pardon her for all her transgressions.

The shot seemed to be going well until Poloo forcefully sat on Strongman’s lap, causing him to break character.

The shy artiste was simply not strong enough to handle Poloo’s sexiness as he begged for mercy.

His action caused the unseen crew to burst into laughter.

Poloo, who seemed taken aback, explained she had no idea Strongman is the shy type, else she would have proceeded with caution.

Strongman had stated in a previous interview that he had always wanted to work with Akuapem Poloo because of her bubbly nature, but he had no idea how wild she could be.

In an interview on Hitz FM, he revealed he called Akuapem Poloo for the job before he recorded the song, and prior to her being charged for indecent exposure.

Netizens have taunted Strongman after snippets of the video went viral.

The fast falls exactly on the 7th month she joined the religion, hence she is positive it is a sign to uphold the doctrines she is gradually learning.

She urged her fellow Muslims to do whatever they can in observance of Ramadan which is an auspicious event on the ninth and holy month of the Islamic calendar.

“May the good Allah bless us with goodness and answer our prayers. Please don’t forget to fast. I am fasting and this is my first time,” she said.

According to her, she is enjoying the process and everything that comes with it, adding that she will join her Muslim sisters for special prayers in the central mosque tomorrow.

She urged her fellow Muslims to be responsible and encourage each other as well as practice alms giving in this auspicious time.

“May we be blessed by His love and be guided by Him in all that we do,” she ended her Ramadan Kareem.

The 32-year-old backed her claims with a throwback photo she shared on her social media platform which captured her state when she was just a baby.

Months-old Akuapem Poloo was photographed donning a white camisole playsuit as she posed for the camera.

With her hands lifted above, she looked straight into the camera for one of the earliest pictures she had ever taken.

Sharing the photo on Instagram, Poloo remarked that she has always been sexy from birth, courtesy of her curvy physique.

She has a slender look complimented by a protruding hipline, but her God-given beauty has never changed.

Jackie celebrated her last year of her thirties yesterday, December 5, and well-meaning fans have united to celebrate her.

Akuapem Poloo is one of the many to shower sweet words on the legendary actress, and attached to her epistle some throwback photos.

Since the first time they met on a movie set of ‘Sala’ in 2016, Poloo said she has admired her senior colleague’s work ethics and private life.

The throwback photo captured Poloo posing beside Jackie who was enjoying a bicycle ride.

Other photos saw Poloo looking at Jackie with admiration at an event they were both billed to attend.

Poloo indicated Jackie has always been sweet to her anytime they meet, unlike other celebrities who look down on her due to her controversial nature and poor grammar.

She prayed for long life filled with happiness for Jackie Appiah.

Poloo, who was given a special invite by the Chief of Suhum, Osabarima Ayeh Kofi, was welcomed gracefully by some dancers who led her straight to the bosom of the ruler.

She joined the troupe to perform the traditional Kete dance as she wins the hearts of admirers who gathered at the venue for the occasion.

Answering questions on her conversion to Islam and the implications on her status as an influencer, she remarked that she is ready to leave her previous lifestyle in her past and uphold the principles of Islam.

Poloo, who stated in previous interviews she would twerk and do all manner of things for money to care for herself and her son, made a U-turn when asked if she will be ready to offer body for some cheques.

She shocked the interviewer, Mavis Amanor (Fire Lady) and other panelists of the Ladies Time show on Asempa FM when she turned down an offer of $5million.

According to Poloo she has a covenant with God and any person who presents her with such an offer is a messenger of the devil.

She added that if making her back touch the bed is the only way to make some money, she would rather enjoy her poverty.

According to her, she has never been approached to give sex for a role or position.

In an interview with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz on Thursday, the actress, born Rosemond Brown, added that if anyone did she would say it and mention the person’s name.

“I have never, never in this industry, since I started, me I would have said it and mentioned your name.”

The actress went on to state that her management handles all her contracts, so she never gets in contact with any producer or director personally.

“I never handled my contracts or projects by myself. No producer has walked to me that they want to work with me,” Akuapem Poloo said.

She also cited an example when she worked with footballer Asamoah Gyan and the late musician, Castro, saying she never had any contact with both the footballer and the musician, but rather through a friend who suggested her for the role.

The Ghanaian actress has now converted to the Islamic Religion after declaring the Shahada; thus, declaring her belief in heart and mind that there is only one God, and Prophet Muhammad is God’s human messenger.

She told Andy Dosty that she converted to Islam because of her son.

The brand influencer, who now goes by the name Haniya, explained that her son chose to follow his father’s religion, hence influenced her to follow suit.

According to her, she prefers men who aren’t wealthy or well-to-do because they hardly motivate ladies they date.

She added that, I don’t date because he is rich. Rich men contact me and I don’t pay attention. I used to move with some guys and when went out most of these ministers wanted me, but I looked away.

Additionally, she said she decided in 2017 to keep her relationship life out of the public space.

They want me. They want to marry and date me. Likewise, they want to help me. They ask me what I want. But I don’t pay attention. You hear a lot of celebs dating ministers and other top singers, but since 2017 have you heard that I am dating anyone?

Meanwhile, the controversial actress announced her conversion to Islam through an Instagram post

The actress duly completed the process on August 9, as she was presented some items to symbolise her acceptance into the religion.

The conversion was done under the auspices of the Deputy Imam of ASWAJ Ga West and Chief Imam of Nsakina Quran Reciter and his board.

Some other Islamic leaders, including women, were present at the ceremony.

Images she shared on social media captured Poloo fully covered from head to toe with a wide smile on her face.

The actress did not understand what the news anchor was saying as she spoke in Hindu. One Indian, who understood the language, explained to her that the media was super excited about her no longer wearing revealing clothes and broadcasted the news to debunk the popular notion in India that Islam is spread through force.

The video surprised many as they did not expect a foreign media house to report about the actress. They congratulated her.

Now known as Haniya, Poloo paid a special visit to the Chief Imam to solicit for blessings and words of encouragement as she embarks on the journey to Islam.

The actress fully clad in the religious regalia was introduced to the elder by some Islamic leaders.

Among other things, the Chief Imam prayed for Poloo to be blessed with the best husband who would guide her in the religion.

“Did you hear that he said May Allah bless me with the best husband and I’m blessed oo,” an excited Poloo stated as she responded to the prayers with a loud Amen.

The prayer is in line with Poloo’s personal desire of marrying a financially stable Muslim man.

In a recent interview, she remarked that she would only marry a Muslim man, adding that she does not mind being a third or fourth wife.

Following her announcement of joining the Islamic religion of which she bears a new identity, Haniya, there has been several calls for her to act in accordance with acceptable behaviour.

That includes dressing decently, using palatable language and quitting some forms of sexually appealing dances and activities.

Replying critics in a latest interview, Poloo stated emphatically that she will not stop twerking as it is her means of survival.

So far as she is idle and without any stable means of upkeep, the actress said she will continue to dance energetically and whine her waist to attract sponsorship.

According to her, twerking is not a serious crime like murder and fornication so she deserves to be cut some slack.

“Someone will sit to insult me for doing something to get paid. Everybody is twerking the musicians twerk, Muslims twerk at Awure and even Indians twerk so why would someone take mine so personal and say I am their worst enemy. I won’t stop twerking because it is a form of dance and exercise,” she reiterated.

However, Akuapem Poloo was quick to add that she can compromise not exposing her body, adding she is ready to dress as required.

The actress, in an interview, revealed when she took the oath to tow the Islamic line, she psyched her mind for all the pros and cons of the religion.

That, she said includes accepting her lover to wed at most four women, in accordance with Islamic marriage rites.

According to her, she is ready to become a second or even third wife so long as she does not suffer in the marriage.

“If I love the man and my heart comes to you, why not? If you’ve married two, three or even 10 and you can still take care of me, why not?. Anything can happen so I am ready for anything only if I will not suffer.”

Poloo indicated that her future husband must be financially sound and be ready to support her.

Also, she is seeking for an understanding, patient and mature man to share her lifetime journey of love with.

According to her, she was not forced to become a Muslim, nor is she doing this to attract attention or impress people.

Speaking in a video posted on her YouTube page, the actress said that she will maintain her name Rosemond Alade Brown and her newly acquired name.

She will also keep her nickname ‘Sexy Poloo’ because despite her covering up as Islam requires of women, she still is sexy and will dress accordingly.

“My son is nine years, and he is a Muslim. I got pregnant for a Muslim guy in 2012 and gave birth in 2013, that should tell you that I know what I am doing. I have always loved Islam. I’m not impressing human beings for anything, I can only impress Allah,” Akuapem Poloo said.

She added that “my mallam who helped me convert told me that I can still keep my full name on social media but I can just add my Muslim name to it. I am still keeping Sexy Poloo. I will cover myself with clothes but I am still sexy.”

This comes after Akuapem Poloo surprised her fans after announcing a change in religious affiliation.

The actress took to her Instagram page to reveal that she has converted from Christianity to Islam.

Akuapem Poloo’s post came with some pictures of her with some persons who seemingly helped her with her journey.

Since her announcement, Akuapem Poloo said she has been receiving calls non-stop from family and friends, either questioning her decision or probing deeper.

She called on people to stop judging her and her posts since converting. 

She explained that she is still new to the religion and is yet to be fully acquainted with the ways of a Muslim.

The actress duly completed the process on August 9, as she was presented some items to symbolise her acceptance into the religion.

The conversion was done under the auspices of the Deputy Imam of ASWAJ Ga West and Chief Imam of Nsakina Quran Reciter and his board.

Some other Islamic leaders, including women, were present at the ceremony.

Images she shared on social media captured Poloo fully covered from head to toe with a wide smile on her face.

She is yet to announce her new name as required by the religion.

‘Waakye’ died at the 37 Military Hospital on August 2, 2022 after suffering an undisclosed ailment.

In reaction, actress Akuapem Poloo has described how hard it is to believe the news, as she prays for his gentle soul to rest in peace.

She disclosed that she holds him dear to her heart since he was the person who introduced her into the industry.

As far back as 2009, she said he took position as her teacher and master who directed her on how to survive the industry.

She shared throwback photos which captured them on three separate sets some years ago.

The warning is warranted following an encounter with a scammer who sent her a direct message on Instagram under the pretext of introducing her to a business opportunity.

But, as smart as she says she is, Poloo caught wind of the plot and unleashed her fury on the gentleman.

This generated into a verbal tug-of-war, and the scammer was left with no option that to confess and apologise for his action.

Consequently, Poloo has, in a self-taken video, warned all persons with “idiotic syndrome” not to target her for any crime.

She revealed her humble background and her experience with ‘Accra living’ has toughened her as she gloats that she is not an easy target.

Cardi, who has accepted Poloo as her spirit twin sister, dropped a comment on the latter’s Instagram post where she was flaunting her curves.

The Ghanaian socialite featured Poloo’s music in the background of her post which she simply captioned, “I love Cardi B”.

In response, Cardi dropped two love emojis under her post.

The gesture has left Poloo in cloud 9, as she reminds her critics of how difficult it is to be recognised by a talented American rapper and a Grammy award-winner.

Cardi has recorded other history-making moments including becoming the first female rap artiste to win Album of the Year at the BET Awards, a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, as well as the first Billboard Music Award winner for Top Female Rap Act.

With a record of such, it is not surprising Akuapem Poloo cherishes the friendship she has with Cardi.

Mudassir Muhammed Yakubu took delivery of a mini electric car he had been longing for on the occasion of his 9th birthday.

Despite being low on cash following her court case, Poloo said her son is her topmost priority, for whom she will go above and below to make happy.

An elated Mudassir, who was full of gratitude for the kind gesture, hopped into the car to have a feel, without bothering to unbox his gift.

“Aww I’m even in tears, he said mum thank you he didn’t even expect this cus He knew I’m financially down after my court case,” she wrote.

Also, Akuapem Poloo played it safe this time around with her outfit and post on her son’s birthday, to avoid falling on the wrong side of child activists.

They both rocked decent customs which complimented their complexion beautifully.

Tons of well wishes are pouring in for chief, while others have applauded Poloo for going out of her way to make her son happy.

The actress has been captured with a big protruding stomach while she posed for a photo shoot with two ladies.

She was spotted in a prayer mood clad in a pink bodycon jumpsuit which gave way to her stomach which sparked rumours she may be heavy.

However, reacting to the viral photo in an Instagram post, she said she will be happy to be pregnant but that is not the reality.

She indicated she ate banku and okro ahead of the shoot which gave that impression.

She wrote: “So someone pulled my attention on a news going around that I’m pregnant eeeii ??? in this picture I finished Banku with okro oo before doing the shoot please I’m not pregnant wai I wish tho and I receive it but at the right time ??? God’s own time ?‍♀️?.”

A few days after the musician gifted her an iPhone 13 pro max, the former has debited her account with GH¢2,000.

Akuapem Poloo took to her Instagram page to post a screenshot of the transfer notification received through express pay.

The actress born Rosemond Brown who was filled with joy showered praises on Shatta Wale and prayed for God to bless him.

She wrote: Hhmm! You see OMG @shattawalenima GOD BLESS YOU THAT’S ALL I CAN SAY MY SON AND I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS YES IM IN TEARS RIGHT NOW THANKS FOR THIS NIGHT 2000gh OMG

Fans and followers who have also been touched by Shatta Wale’s act of benevolence commended him.

These are the web of emotions actress Akuapem Poloo went through on the day she was sentenced to 90 days in the Nsawam prison.

The actress was charged with the publication of obscene materials and indecency after she posted a nude photo of herself and her son to mark his 6th birthday.

Moments after the photo was uploaded on her Instagram on the 30th of June 2020 till the point she secured bail on December 15, 2021, Poloo said she was robbed of sleep.

She told Delay during an interview that she knew her obvious fate the day before her sentencing when the judge requested a pregnancy test, and the demeanor of her lawyer thereon.

“When the judge requested for a pregnancy test, at that time I had not said I was pregnant so my lawyer mumbled under his breath. The judge also added that I should be detained after the test”.

“At that point, I wish I knew a doctor who could have forged my pregnancy test to positive for me. I don’t have any police, doctor, or friend in the services; it’s after my case that I have a lawyer.”

Speaking about her time in Nsawam prison, Akuapem Poloo said her spirit left her body and she became very pale as she stared at the huge gated building.

“I was just weak while imagining my life for the 90 days. I had grown very lean like a broom because I could not eat. They marched me to the washroom and made me squat to know if I have inserted any harmful thing there. After, they made me change my dress, took pictures, and put me in quarantine.”

“I could not eat their food, all I took was malt and sometimes a slice of fried yam. I was scared because I didn’t know what anyone had planned for me. I was helpless”.

Surprisingly, she said her cellmates she was scared of were rather very friendly people and they did their best to cheer her up by gisting her of their own experiences.

Born Rosemond Alade Brown, Akuapem Poloo said her experience has taught her that fame, though sweet, can be very dangerous when overdosed on.

The actress, at a point, said she was involved with two men; one who was her manager and the other, her lover.

She said she felt on top of the world when they were both sponsoring her, but for understandable reasons, they both sent her packing.

For a two-year period from 2018 to 2020, she said her American manager was particularly interested in her well being, and even followed her to interviews.

However, after her fame skyrocketed following the twerking incidence with Cardi B, she said her manager let her go because he felt her level has upgraded. However, what he did not know was that all she made from the twerking was fame, not funds.

Speaking in an interview with Delay, she said her manager disclosed he did not make any earnings from the investments he made into her, thus, did not want to continue sponsoring her.

On the part of her American sponsor she met on Facebook, she did not give details as to what led to their breakup, but she commented that his sponsorship has ceased.

During their online dating period, Poloo indicated that he was the pocket behind her lavish living and the expensive apartment she was renting.

Despite not meeting face-to-face before, she said the 54-year-old Caucasian man rented her a $1,000 monthly two-bedroom house for two years.

With both men out of her life, she said she is now a self-made lady staying in the modest part of Kasoa .

She is quoted to have said, “Accra is too expensive for me now that I am solely taking care of my mum and son and I am trying to build myself. Currently I am living in a house at Kasoa and I pay GHS 1,500 and it is also a very nice two-bedroom house.”

According to her, the Honda vehicle she flaunted on social media was not hers.

Speaking to Delay in an interview, she disclosed that she borrowed the car and personally customised the car with the number plate ‘Poloo 1’.

While opening up on this experience, Akupame Poloo seemed shy to tell the world this secret – an action some celebrities including Martha Ankomah and Yvonne Nelson have alluded to.

The two actresses during some interviews in the past revealed some celebrities have had to conform to societal pressure and live fake likes as celebrities.

While her fans were applauding her for swift achievements shortly after she emerged, Poloo said it was all a ‘fake it till you make it’ move.

In a yet-to-be-aired interview she opened up on how she had to borrow a car and pose it as hers so as to gain applause and be seen as a ‘big girl’.

A white Honda Civic car which she said was gifted to her by her boyfriend in January 2020 was rather a borrowed car.

According to her, she had to go to the length of customizing it in her name (Poloo 1) just for flex.

It is not surprising she did not flaunt the car for long, before it vanished, literally.

Shatta, who is well known as a charitable celebrity, has for some time now lavished Poloo with gifts, and an iPhone 13 pro max is the latest.

Since Poloo took delivery of the gift, she has heaped praises on Shatta, describing him as her legend, hero and daddy.

She prayed for God to reward him with mind blowing blessings.

“Thank you Sir thank you my HERO thank you my LEGEND thank you my DADDY everything you do for me God sees all your rewards will be mind blowing I’m grateful once again for everything money, phones and your guidance more healthy life. SM for life ONGOD 1DON,” she wrote.

In turn, Shatta stated that her happiness is his priority and many more of such gifts are yet to come.

Recall the Dancehall King was one of the few persons who supported Akuapem Poloo financially during her court case for publication of obscene materials with her son.

During her jail time, Shatta sent bundles of cash for the upkeep of her son, and visited them when she gained her freedom.

The duo have been loyal to each other, and shared some few kisses as a sign of their close friendship.

Poloo, who was moved by Kinaata’s stage craft at an artiste night jam, hopped onto the stage to unleash some dance moves.

She was all hyper while shaking her backside vigorously while engaging the Taadi-based artiste who was gingering his fans.

Their energies combined to lit a spark at the venue as the crowd chants in excitement.

The stage was at their mercy while Poloo was reciting the lyrics of Kofi Kinaata’s Change Level, and her demeanor shows she was so much in love with the song.

That, coupled with the love she has for Kinaata, who she described as her brother, made her come out to support him.
