In a startling revelation that’s sent shockwaves through Ghana’s social media landscape, comedienne Afia Schwarzenegger has alleged that Irene Gyamfi, wife of National Democratic Congress (NDC) Communications Officer Sammy Gyamfi, spends lavishly on luxury wigs, with individual pieces costing up to $1,000. According to Afia, Irene reportedly purchases these high-end wigs from the renowned brand Hair By JM, suggesting a total expenditure of approximately $10,000 on hairpieces.
Afia’s claims surfaced during a TikTok Live session, where she addressed the recent controversy surrounding Sammy Gyamfi’s $800 cash gift to Evangelist Mama Pat, popularly known as Nana Agradaa. While defending Gyamfi’s generosity, Afia highlighted his wife’s alleged spending habits to counter critics questioning the source of the funds. She remarked, “If Sammy’s wife buys a wig of $10,000 in opposition, then it means he has it already.”
The incident has ignited a flurry of reactions online. Some social media users expressed astonishment at the purported extravagance, while others defended the couple’s right to spend their money as they see fit. One commenter noted, “She’ll defend yet expose, thanks for da gist,” highlighting the paradox in Afia’s statements.
This controversy adds to a series of public scrutinies involving Sammy Gyamfi. Previously, he faced backlash for describing Nana Agradaa as a “needy person” after gifting her money, a statement that many Ghanaians found inappropriate given her public displays of wealth.
As discussions continue, the spotlight remains firmly on the Gyamfi household, with many awaiting further clarifications or responses to these allegations.
