Ghanaian gospel musician cum preacher Sonnie Badu has sparked controversy with his recent statements on women’s hair choices, particularly the use of wigs. Speaking recently during a sermon at the RockHill Church, the US-based Ghanaian preacher asked women to embrace their natural hair, warning that excessive reliance on wigs could have spiritual consequences. Dr. Badu emphasised that a woman’s natural hair holds sacred significance, and covering it with synthetic or human hair wigs might lead to the loss of “glory.” He cautioned that lots of women unknowingly block their spiritual blessings by consistently wearing wigs instead of embracing the natural beauty given to them by God. “There is a glory that comes with being natural. Some of you don’t even know the origin of the wigs you wear on your head, yet you wear them daily without understanding the spiritual implications. Young ladies, learn to love your natural hair,” Dr. Badu passionately stated during his sermon.

Entertainment pundit MC Yaa Yeboah has expressed dissatisfaction with John Dramani Mahama's decision to appoint Marilyn Maame Efua Houadjeto as the new CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA). In a discussion on ‘United Showbiz’ on February 2, 2025, MC Yaa Yeboah said she was surprised when she first heard of the appointment, stating that Marilyn Maame Efua Houadjeto is not widely known in the tourism sector.

Also, I don't know how much of a role she has played in the tourism sector. I was disappointed when I heard she was appointed because I was expecting Abeiku Santana to head this sector. "This is no secret among industry players. The former boss of GTA did a great job, and Abeiku has made an impact in the sector," she said.
