Afronita part ways with Dance Academy
Afronita
A Ghanaian dancer, Danita Akosua Adomaah Yeboah, popularly known as Afronita has parted ways with Dance With Purpose (DWP) Academy, a dance group.
The DWP Academy finally confirmed Afronita’s departure in a statement cited by Agoro on Monday, noting that it was a tough decision to let go of the dancer.
“We are happy to announce that our dear Danita Akosua Adomaah Yeboah (Afronita) has moved on as a brand on her own.”
It was a tough decision to let Afronita go, but her move is in line with the mission of Dance With A Purpose Academy to build brands out of all the young and gifted personalities that join the family,” the statement said.
It is, however, unclear what has pushed Afronita to leave the group. The young Ghanaian dance star has not yet said anything publicly about her departure.
According to the statement, Afronita joined DWP in 2018, at the age of 14. She successfully combines dance and education and succeeds at both to the admiration of many.
“Today, we are all witnesses to the tremendous transformation DWP has had in her life and artistic career.”
She, together with the many talented members of the DWP family has changed the narrative around professional dancing in Ghana and beyond. Afronita’s move is not the first and will certainly not be the last. Indeed, an opportunity like this affirms our slogan; “Find Your Purpose and Live it,” the statement said.
It said DWP is committed to unearthing talents, nurturing them and building strong personalities and brands that can thrive individually and as a group.
“We will continue to focus on our core family values including honesty, respect, compassion and responsibility,” the statement said.
We believe the sky is big enough to allow all of us space to shine as a group and also as individuals. Our doors are open to new talents in Ghana and beyond as we roll out our next biggest initiative this year.
We encourage all our fans, corporate organisations, individuals and partners in Ghana and abroad to continue to support the dream of DWP so we can continue to nurture great talents.

Osanju is dead
Popular Ghanaian content creator, Elvis Frimpong, known in showbiz circles as Osanju has been reported dead.
According to sources, he was said to have died in the early hours on Monday, September 1, 2025 after a long battle with blood cancer (Leukemia)
His death has been a shock in the Ghanaian community especially coming shortly after his last post.
His demise comes five months after he had laid his mother, Amounu, also a tiktoker, to rest, having lost her in January.
Hours before his passing, he had posted a video on Sunday with friends watching the Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano match, prompting many fans to initially dismiss the reports as a hoax.
Osanju’s death has been described as a huge loss by followers who admired his openness, resilience and positive outlook in the face of ill health.
However, Osanju had previously shared his battle with leukemia, a cancer of the blood, on his TikTok account, even eerily predicting his own demise on a couple of occasions.
