Afia Schwarzenegger Drops Fadda Dickson’s Name, Reveals Who Allegedly Bought Empress Gifty’s Car

A birthday surprise presented to Ghanaian gospel musician Empress Gifty by her husband, Hopeson Yaovi Adorye, has sparked controversy following claims by socialite Afia Schwarzenegger about the actual person who purchased the vehicle.

The discussion began after a video showing the musician receiving a brand-new black Changan Q07 plug-in hybrid, 2026 model, circulated widely on social media on Thursday, November 5, 2026.

In the footage, Empress Gifty appeared emotional as her husband presented the vehicle during a birthday celebration organised after her return from an overseas trip. Friends and family members were also present to witness the occasion.

The gospel musician subsequently expressed excitement and gratitude to her husband, describing the vehicle as the biggest and most beautiful surprise she received during the celebration.

However, Afia Schwarzenegger has introduced a different account of how the vehicle was acquired. She alleged that media personality and Despite Media Managing Director Fadda Dickson was the person who bought the car and arranged for Hopeson Adorye to present it to his wife.

Her comments have shifted public attention towards the alleged financial arrangement behind the gift, drawing Fadda Dickson into a discussion that initially centred on Empress Gifty’s birthday celebration.

Afia also criticised the vehicle’s value and questioned the excitement surrounding its presentation. She reportedly compared it with a luxury vehicle she claimed her daughter had acquired, while making remarks about the musician’s emotional reaction.

The allegations have generated mixed reactions online, with social media users debating whether the identity of the person who purchased the vehicle should become a public issue.

However, Afia’s claim that Fadda Dickson financed the purchase has not been independently verified. Neither Fadda Dickson nor Hopeson Adorye has been reported as publicly responding to the allegation.

For now, the controversy remains centred on competing claims about the ownership and presentation of the birthday gift.
