Maame Ode speaks after Adum PZ fire

In a recent video sighted by YEN.com.gh, Maame Ode opened up about her frustrations after the Adum PZ Fire.

According to the singer, she has benefitted immensely from her promotional services to her embattled benefactor and cannot fathom how to survive without the woman in business.

Maame Ode recounted being a mother to children whose father had died. She also said that her mother was about 100 years old and was relying on her making the situation more pressing.

Speaking to the interview, Maame Ode sorrowfully said,

"You know my kids have no father. In this short while, I've met Maame Serwaa, anytime she goes to pick up her goods, she brings me and my kids rice and other stuff. I don't recall the last time I bought such stuff with my money."
