Akua Amoakowaa: No secrets with friends

IT seems one lesson that former beauty queen and entrepreneur, Akua Amoakowaa, has learnt is to shut up when it comes to sharing secrets with friends.
The 2011 Ghana’s Most Beautiful (GMB) winner said that she took the decision in 2018 following an unpleasant experience.

Akua’s advice comes at a time when social media in recent times has been flooded with alleged secrets shared by especially celebrity friends who have fallen out.

“I know what I am talking about because I know most of these celebs. I advised myself in 2018 not to share any secret with any friend and that has helped me a lot. If my colleagues take a cue from it, it will help them too.

“When you don’t tell your confidential stuff to your friends, how can they reveal them in the event that things turn sour between you? Some shared secrets can destroy you for the rest of your life and there are many examples we can attest to lately,” she said in an interview with Graphic Showbiz recently.

Recently, Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale, made headlines when he insinuated that his former manager and friend, Bulldog, had a hand in the murder of artiste manager, Fennec Okyere’s, death in 2014. He disclosed that it was a secret his former manager had shared with him.

However, this is not the first time that once good friends have made a public spectacle of themselves on social media.

In 2016, singer Mzbel and social media influencer, Afia Schwarzenegger’s, did not only trade insults on the space but purportedly revealed dirty secrets about their way of life.

And there is Nana Tornado and Afia Schwarzenegger’s case of revealing secrets about their sexual orientation.
