Online Pushback As TwinsDntBeg Breaks Silence On V8 Claims From Bawumia

As at November 1, 2026, Ghanaians have taken to social media to react after the photography duo TwinsDntBeg publicly denied claims that they received a V8 vehicle from Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia or his office.

The duo, described as a Ghanaian celebrity and political photography team, made the statement during an appearance on UTV Ghana’s entertainment show “ATUU.” They maintained that they were not so naive as to accept such a gift, adding that neither Bawumia nor his office bought them a V8 as has been alleged.

A clip of the interview, shared on UTV Ghana’s Facebook page, quickly drew a wave of reactions. Rather than settling the matter, the denial appears to have widened the conversation, with a section of the public pushing back on the duo’s claim to celebrity status and questioning how they have come to command so much attention.

The pushback centres largely on the duo’s public standing and the nature of their work. Many netizens want to know exactly who they are and whether they should be regarded as photographers or political communicators. Others believe the title of celebrity is now handed out too easily in Ghana, arguing that social media visibility does not amount to genuine national prominence.

The reactions have also moved beyond the duo themselves. Some observers argue that the pair appear to enjoy privileged access to sensitive political information, while other key figures in the country’s political history are said to have been denied the same opportunity. This has turned a light entertainment story into a wider conversation about fairness and influence.

Not all responses have been critical. A few social media users have admired the duo as smart and capable, while others have dismissed the whole V8 question as one that needs no answer.

The episode shows how quickly public figures in Ghana’s political and media space can come under scrutiny, and how social media continues to shape the reception of their statements. At the time of writing, there had been no further comment from Bawumia’s office on the matter.
