United Queens of GMB launched
Past queens of TV3 Ghana’s Most Beautiful pageant have come together to form an association known as United Queens of GMB.
A ceremony to commemorate the launch took place last Thursday at the Fiesta Royale Hotel in Accra.
Speaking to The Spectator the President of the group, Mrs Adjoa Afariwaa Dawson, Second Runner-up of season 9, who represented the Eastern Region, said all the past queens from2007 to the last edition held on October 3, at the National Theatre have come together to form the association.
She said that they had done well for themselves and society, for this reason coming together as one would make their impact better.
“All the past queens are about 127 people on a single platform, so we have come together to propagate a project inspired by COVID-19, and the mental health issues people are facing as a result of losing job opportunities among others,” she said.
Afariwa said the group would pursue its priority of transforming lives in Ghana and beyond, and told every lady who had ever mounted the GMB stage, that it was free.
They interracted with 50 survivors of mental health at the Junction Mall at Nungua on October 9 at a Mental Health Advocacy Programme, and engaged in cooking competition to raise money and support for the survivor undergoing treatment among others.

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.
