Hajia4Reall was named on a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) list identifying what authorities describe as the most dangerous criminal aliens in the country.
The list, released by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), covers 355 West African immigrants either already deported or facing deportation, including 30 Ghanaians.
Hajia4Real, already deported, appeared among them for fraud committed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Moments after her blacklisting went public, Hajia4Reall released a new video on TikTok and seemed unperturbed.
In the video, the mother looked her usual gorgeous self, wearing designer and sunglasses and a fitting dress.
She moved majestically as she sang along Ayra Starr's Rush. Interestingly, the song had a stanza which went like a subtle reply to the trending news.
"Me no get the time for the hate and the bad energy
"Got my mind on my money
"Make you dance like Poco Lee
"Steady green like broccoli...," she sang

Hajia4Reall's fraud case and jail in US
It will be recalled that Hajia4Reall's legal troubles with US authorities date back to her arrest in the United Kingdom in November 2022, from where she was extradited to the United States in May 2023 over her alleged role in a romance scam operation.
She pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to receive stolen money on February 21, 2024, and was sentenced on June 28, 2024, receiving one year and one day in prison, and was released on May 22, 2025.
Prosecutors established that she controlled bank accounts that received more than $2 million in fraudulently obtained funds.
Among the false pretences used to extract money from victims were payments to transport gold from overseas to the US, payments to resolve a fake FBI investigation, and payments to assist a fake US Army officer in receiving funds from Afghanistan.
She also agreed to forfeit and pay restitution totalling $2,164,758.41.
Hajia4Reall was identified by US prosecutors as a member of a notorious fraud network known as "The Enterprise", a Ghana-based cybercrime gang that defrauded victims of an estimated $50 million through romance scams, business email compromises, and COVID-19-related fraud schemes.
The Enterprise operated by sending victims emails, text messages, and social media messages that deceived them into believing they were in romantic relationships with fake identities assumed by members of the group. The scheme ran from at least 2013 through 2019, targeting individuals and businesses across the United States.
Hajia4Real rose to prominence as a Ghanaian Instagram influencer, amassing close to four million followers before her legal troubles unravelled her public image.
