- TikTok personality Sexy Afrah has opened up about the emotional toll of leaving her UK-based marriage for a Ghanaian man she met online.
- In a tearful interview on The Delay Show, she revealed how promises of love led her to lie to her husband and abandon her family, only to be met with disappointment and emotional abuse.
- The relationship, which lasted two years, left her drained and regretful.
TikTok star Sexy Afrah has shared a deeply personal account of how chasing love led her down a path of emotional devastation. Appearing on The Delay Show, she recounted how she walked away from a stable marriage in the UK after falling for a Ghanaian man she met through TikTok live sessions.
Blinded by promises of a better life, Afrah lied to her husband, claiming her grandmother had died, just so she could return to Ghana. Her mother objected, her husband resisted, but she insisted — determined to prove her love.
What awaited her in Kumasi was far from the dream she imagined. The man she left everything for offered her a rented chamber and hall, a fridge, and a few chairs. The support he promised — for her and her family — never came. Instead, he pressured her to cut ties with her loved ones.
The turning point came when her mother fell seriously ill. Wracked with guilt, Afrah confronted her boyfriend, who then began sending GH¢1,000 monthly for her mother’s upkeep. But the emotional damage had already taken its toll.
“I wept,” she said on set, recalling the moment she realized she had abandoned the very people who had stood by her. She admitted to following every instruction from the man — even when it meant insulting her husband abroad.
Eventually, she found the strength to walk away. A voice note ended the relationship, and with it, a chapter she now calls her biggest mistake.
Afrah’s story is a cautionary tale about love, manipulation, and the cost of ignoring red flags. For her, healing has begun — but the scars remain.
