The father of Ghanaian TikToker GH Kobby, born Hayford Boateng, has broken his silence following the tragic death of his son’s girlfriend, Philipa Frimpong, popularly known as Yaa Baby.
In a heartbreaking video circulating online, the grieving father expressed remorse and called for justice, saying his son deserves life imprisonment if found guilty of the alleged shooting.
> “Yaa Baby didn’t deserve to die. Wherever my son is now, let him stay there. He should face the consequences,” he said during a visit to Yaa Baby’s family home in Yeji.
The Tragedy
On June 9, 2025, 25-year-old Yaa Baby, a fashion designer, died from a gunshot wound to her arm. The incident reportedly occurred after she and GH Kobby had shared a meal with two others—Kwadwo Emmanuel and Michael Kabutey.
Police investigations are still ongoing, and efforts to move Yaa Baby’s body to Kumasi for burial have been delayed due to logistical issues raised by local police.
Despite the pain, GH Kobby’s father urged for calm and pleaded with the family to allow them to participate in the funeral arrangements.
> “Let’s thank God. He knows why this happened. I only ask that the family let us help bury her properly,” he added.
Remembering Yaa Baby
Yaa Baby was well known on TikTok for her fashion sense. A video shared by her hairstylist shows her in a black spaghetti top and jeans, accessorized with a necklace and bracelet, looking radiant and carefree—just days before her tragic death.
