Kumawood actress Kala Kumasi has come under fire from Ghanaians after she publicly asked for financial help to purchase a new iPhone 14. In a video posted to her TikTok page, she explained that her current phone was damaged and expressed a desire to own the iPhone 14, which she described as her dream device. After consulting a phone dealer, she learned that the phone costs GH₵14,000, a price she could not afford, as she had only saved GH₵300. Consequently, she turned to the public for assistance in purchasing the phone.
However, her request sparked criticism from some Ghanaians. Many suggested she should seek support from the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the political party she has supported for years. Kala Kumasi has been a prominent figure in NDC’s campaigns, especially during the 2024 general elections, where she actively campaigned for former President John Mahama, particularly in the Ashanti Region, a stronghold of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Recently, the actress voiced her disappointment over the lack of recognition from the NDC for her and her colleagues’ efforts during the campaign. She urged the party, particularly President Mahama, to acknowledge their contributions with political appointments.
In response to her request, netizens made various remarks. Some pointed out that she should ask the NDC for support, while others sarcastically suggested that Mahama, whom she supported during the elections, could buy the phone for her. Additionally, some questioned why she had not used the phone in her video to make her request.
This situation highlights the public’s belief that her plea should be directed to the party she worked hard for, rather than seeking help from the general public.
