I was just walking on my street when a man stopped me and said he’d seen me in a skit and admired my curves. He handed me GH¢5,000 simply because of my backside, she said with a laugh.

"My heavy backside has rented an apartment for me; in fact, it has done so many things for me. A random person from my area once gifted me GHS 5,000 just for seeing my heavy backside in a movie scene with Akabenezer." - Ghanaian actress Afrakoma pic.twitter.com/R3JmgddoBq

Afrakoma further revealed that her striking figure also helped her land an apartment, which she currently shares with her partner.

If not for my figure, I might not even have a roof over my head, she stated. She described these experiences as a result of divine favour, emphasising that her physical appearance is a gift from God.

There are people like me who, without their body shape, wouldn’t have had access to money or even a place to sleep, she added

When asked how she manages the overwhelming attention from admirers despite being in a relationship, Afrakoma acknowledged that the pressure is real but insisted she draws clear boundaries.

I receive a lot of attention, but I am not loose. I carry myself with respect, she affirmed.

Afrakoma’s candid comments have sparked debate online, with some hailing her honesty while others question the societal values that reward physical attributes over talent.
