Nana Aba Anamoah is the mother of all slay queens – Top slay queen claims
A popular Ghanaian Instagram slay queen known as Mona Gucci has branded media personality Nana Aba Anamoah as the ‘mother’ of all the slay queens in Ghana.
She appeared on Neat FM yesterday where she made this assertion.
According to Mona, men can pay as much as GHC100,000 just for a slay queen to make them happy.
She referred to entertainment lawyer and actress, Sandra Ankobiah, and claimed she makes her money from men because her profession doesn’t pay enough to cater to her needs.
“I doubt Sandra Ankobiah’s source of income,” she said. “She can’t tell me that she buys all those clothes from her work (as a lawyer). Definitely, someone is sponsoring her.”
“She gets paid for making men happy. There are many men who would pay her GHC100,000 to make them happy.”
She said Nana Aba Anamoah, who is also a friend of Sandra Ankobiah, is also a slay queen but mother of all. She said her appearance on TV attracts wealthy men to patronise her.
“Nana Aba Anamoah is the queen of slay queens. She is the queen because she has been on television for many years. Moreover, the big men watch TV so she gets all the attention.”
She added: “She has given confidence to a lot of girls to slay. Most of the slay queens are inspired by her.”
She also named Serwaa Amihere as Nana Aba Anamoah’s ‘last girl’ in the slay queen business.

Ghanaian musician Ezecheal Kwasi Asimeng Frimpong, popularly known as Ancienth has released a new Palmwine single titled ‘Asukese Abena’.
The song is a celebration of love, culture, and the timeless wisdom embedded in Ghana’s traditional way of life.
According to him, the project is meant to remind people that Palmwine music is not a relic of the past.
“Through this project, I want people to understand that Palmwine music is not a relic of the past, it is a living heritage that still speaks powerfully to the present,” he said.
Ancienth traces his journey in Palmwine music to the pioneering work of Kwame Asare, also known as Jacob Sam, and the Kumasi Trio. He credits them with laying the foundation for one of Ghana’s most important musical traditions, a path that later generations continue to walk.
“I entered this space because I believe every nation must protect its cultural voice,” Ancienth explained, adding that “Palmwine music carries our stories, values, humour, history, and identity. Preserving it is not only a musical responsibility but also a cultural one.”
The musician described the journey as rewarding but challenging, noting that traditional music often receives less attention and investment compared to mainstream genres.
To strengthen the space, he is calling for greater support from the media, cultural institutions, educational bodies, and the public.
“My appeal to Ghanaians is simple, support indigenous music, because when a people lose their cultural sound, they gradually lose part of their identity,” he added.
As a torchbearer of Palmwine Music, Ancienth says his mission is to honour the legacy of the pioneers while introducing Palmwine music to new generations and audiences across the world.
Asukese Abena is now available on all digital platforms, including YouTube
