Akosua Agyapong: I'm Not Yet 70 Years, Stop Calling Me Old

Highlife star Akosua Agyapong has admonished her fans and Ghanaians alike to stop calling her old. 

The musician stated firmly that she is '55 years old,' not 70, as some Ghanaians have speculated. Akosua Agyapong explained that she began her music career at age 20 and has been performing for 35 years. She acknowledged that her long-standing presence in the industry may have led many to believe she was older than she actually is.

The 'Born Again' singer shared that whenever people meet her, they often remark that they have been listening to her music since childhood. She noted that these comments have contributed to the misconception that she has been in the industry far longer than her actual career span.

She expressed a wish for people to recognize her actual age and stop assuming she is older.

Ghanaians shared their reactions to Akosua Agyapong's assertions. 

AkuaComely reacted: "Seriously, you don't look 55; you're blessed ????."

Another user joked: "Wei de3 Akosua Agyapong woboa—I listened to your music in 1921."

Abena_OdeibeaAmoah added: "55 years and you're beautiful like this ???????????????????????? then you are blessed."

Akosua Agyapong has five albums to her credit, including one in collaboration with NAKOREX. In August 2019, she was honored at a special event called "Celebrating Akosua Adjepong 30@50," commemorating her three decades in the music industry.

Akosua Agyapong's contributions to the Ghanaian entertainment industry have not gone unnoticed. In 2020, she received special recognition from the organizers of the 3Music Awards for her immense impact and influence in the world of music and television.
