Fans react to Akumaa Mama Zimbi hair reveal
The media personality danced upon revealing her hair.
Media personality and actress, Akumaa Mama Zimbi has finally revealed to Ghana what her hair looks like under the turban in a happy dancing video on social media.
The TV and radio show host shared a video of her; on TikTok dancing to the popular gospel song, ‘I serve a living God’ as she combed through her hair. The receding edges of her hair caught the attention of many of her followers who reacted negatively to her post.
The joy in sharing the post was short-lived when negative comments rolled in focusing more on the edges of the media personality.
A fan by the name Ohemaa Boatemaa said, “I now understand why there is always duku ak3se3” while another with the handle Justyoungme asked, “please put the Duku back on before we go to Heblues”.
Known for wrapping her hair with fabrics in a hollow form around her head, Akumaa has never for once gone on a holiday with her hollow turban signature, until in February when she revealed herself wearing a wig. The new-look attracted a lot of positive reactions but moving it a step further without the wig didn’t prepare us.
In an interview dated November 18, 2019, Akumaa Mama Zimbi confessed her headscarf is the only way she attracts the attention she deserves.

The fourth edition of the fast-rising fashion and cultural event, the Slit and Kaba Festival, is set to take place on May 1 at the Legon City Mall in Accra.
Organised by Roots Africa, the festival aims to promote Ghanaian culture through the traditional Kaba and Slit outfit, known for its vibrant African prints and unique designs.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro ahead of this year’s edition, dubbed “Old School Kaba and Slit Meets Batakari,” the Founder of Roots Africa, Mrs. Deborah Kabutey-Djisah, popularly known as Manye Korngo, said the event has gained significant popularity over the years and promised an even bigger experience this time around.
“The intention is to revive old-school fashion while celebrating our revered Fugu, also known as Batakari, which has gained massive exposure in recent times,” she stated.
“It is also an opportunity to showcase our culture and demonstrate to young people how fashion has evolved over the years,” she added.
She further called on vendors to come on board to display their products and services, noting that thousands of patrons are expected to attend the event.
“Don’t miss the chance to have your brand featured on our flyers, make incredible sales, and be part of an unforgettable experience,” she urged.
According to her, the previous edition was a great success, attracting patrons from across the country. Due to the growing interest, a larger venue had to be secured to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
“I’m expecting ten times more people than we had at last year’s festival,” she added.
