“You Wore Copper While Others Wore Gold” — Afia Schwarzenegger Blasts Serwaa Amihere

According to ABN Global Media on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger has taken a swipe at broadcaster Serwaa Amihere over her recent comments about imitation jewellery, particularly her remarks concerning Akabenezer’s chains.

Afia expressed her disagreement with Serwaa’s comments in a message addressed to the broadcaster, arguing that people should not be judged or ridiculed because of the type of jewellery they wear.

Although Afia stated that she genuinely loves and admires Serwaa for her growth over the years, she made it clear that she was unhappy with the broadcaster’s remarks about people who wear copper jewellery instead of gold.

According to Afia, Serwaa was wearing copper jewellery in 2020, when other people were already wearing gold. She argued that those who could afford more expensive jewellery did not necessarily look down on others who had different financial circumstances or personal preferences.

Afia therefore questioned why Serwaa would make comments that could be interpreted as mocking people who wear less expensive accessories.

She described the broadcaster’s remarks as unnecessary and unhealthy, urging her to be more careful with her choice of words whenever she has the opportunity to address the public.

Afia also referred to Serwaa’s professional background as a lawyer, arguing that she should communicate with the level of care, precision and responsibility expected of someone with legal training.

The exchange has attracted attention because it touches on broader issues surrounding luxury, social status and the pressure people sometimes face to display expensive possessions.

For many people, jewellery is a fashion accessory that allows them to express their personal style. While some prefer genuine gold and other precious materials, others choose affordable alternatives that suit their budgets.

The debate has also raised questions about whether expensive possessions should determine how people are treated in society. Some may argue that public figures should be mindful of their influence, particularly when discussing issues that could make others feel inferior because of their financial circumstances.

PP0PHowever, the disagreement between Afia 0 Serwaa also reflects how comments about fashion can quickly develop into wider public controversies, especially when well-known personalities become involved.

Whether Serwaa will respond to Afia’s criticism remains unclear based on the information provided.

Do you think Afia Schwarzenegger has a point, or is she taking the jewellery controversy too far? Should anyone be mocked for wearing imitation jewellery instead of gold?
