Media personality and entertainment pundit MC Yaa Yeboah has come to the strong defence of Ghanaian musician Hajia4Reall, urging the public to refrain from linking her to the recent arrests involving a $100 million fraud case.
Her comments follow growing speculation on social media alleging that Hajia4Reall may have served as an informant for the FBI in connection with the arrest of Kofi Boat, along with two other individuals known only by the aliases “Agony” and a third unnamed accomplice. The trio are currently facing extradition to the United States for their alleged involvement in romance scams and money laundering schemes.
During a panel discussion on United Showbiz last weekend, Yaa Yeboah addressed the public backlash being directed at Hajia4Reall and pushed back against suggestions that she had committed any wrongdoing if she did, in fact, cooperate with authorities.
“Let’s assume Hajia4Reall was the one who provided the FBI with this information,” she said. “What wrong would she have done? It would actually be against our Criminal Offences Act if she had prior knowledge of individuals engaging in illicit activities and chose to remain silent.”
Referencing Section 20 of Ghana’s Criminal Offences Act, Yaa Yeboah explained that anyone with knowledge of criminal activity has a legal duty to report it. In that context, she argued, even if Hajia4Reall had assisted law enforcement, it would have been a responsible and lawful decision—not a betrayal.
Beyond the legal justification, Yaa Yeboah also raised a serious concern about the tone and intensity of the accusations being hurled online.
“Let’s be careful of the accusations we are making against her. We are putting her life in danger with that,” she cautioned.
“How we are saying it, for it to settle in people’s ears for them to believe it — we should be careful.”
She expressed concern over the way social media users are not only spreading unfounded allegations but also appearing to celebrate the arrests and urging more investigations without any understanding of how such processes work.
“I have come across numerous videos on social media, where some individuals are celebrating and calling for the FBI to investigate specific persons,” she said. “If the FBI decides to come after you, it’s a result of meticulously gathered evidence. It’s perplexing why anyone would be linking Hajia4Reall to these arrests. We must exercise caution because, in doing so, we may inadvertently place this young woman’s life at risk.”
Yaa Yeboah believes that instead of vilifying Hajia4Reall, the public should commend her if she has played a role in exposing criminal activity. To her, this is not betrayal—it is whistleblowing.
