In an interview with Smart Ghana on August 27, 2025, Kwaku Manu said: "Yes, there have been rumours about me and Charly D, but we are not an item.

Ghanaian TikTok star Queen Afrah has publicly denied claims that she was romantically involved with Kumawood actor Sunsum, stressing that their only encounter was a brief one after she completed high school.

"I met him once when I finished high school. I took a photo with him at the event where I met him. I was shocked to see him in the trends when I had problems with the man I was married to," she explained.
According to Queen Afrah, she believes her former partner may have played a role in fueling the rumor, but she was reluctant to respond initially because she avoids online drama.
"I didn't want to respond to him because on TikTok, I don't do what is trending, and I don't talk about people. I knew the man I was dating was the one who was behind him, but I realized he was too serious," she added.
The TikTok sensation, however, has now issued a strong warning, stating that she is prepared to take legal action if the claims persist.
"So he should get ready because he will hear from my lawyers. He should make his proof ready," she declared.

MICHAEL JACKSON NEVER CHANGED HIS COLOR OR WAS INTO LITTLE KIDS - AKON
🚨🚨🇺🇸🇬🇭🇺🇸 I wanna make it clear that Michael Jackson was never into little kids and he never changed his color, he just had Vitiligo. All the negative stuff y'all saw about Michael Jackson was made up." - Akon
"Michael Jackson was a very good friend of mine and we used to have regular casual conversations just like friends will do. Michael Jackson was human just like us too, he liked everything we liked. He wasn't into thick women, he liked women who were super models. Michael Jackson was never into little kids. They monitored him all the time so they could get something to use against him and when they discovered that he was clean and they had nothing on him, they brought up that story because they used to see him with kids. And I also wanna make it clear that Michael Jackson never changed his color too, like I mean he had Vitiligo. Vitiligo is a condition where the pigment is lost from areas of the skin, causing whitish patches and sometimes leads to complete loss of melanin, often with no clear cause. It can happen to me, it can happen to you. So they figured that Africans didn't know much about Vitiligo at the time and then they brought up the story that he hated who he was just so blacks could hate him.
I am saying this because Michael Jackson's legacy has to be protected. The times that he used to speak like kids was genuine because alot of kids looked up to him and he wanted them to grow to be the best they could be. Each and every one of us has to take it as a responsibility to protect Michael Jackson's legacy because we're never gonna get another Michael Jackson again." 🇬🇭🐐
