Michy warns blogger at event
In a TikTok video seen by YEN.com.gh, Michy was spotted beaming with a smile as she interacted with a blogger during her arrival at the event.
As she arrived, a blogger playfully referred to her as "Shatta Michy," a name she used when she was in a romantic relationship with her baby daddy, Shatta Wale.
She jokingly threatened to invoke curses on the blogger if she continued to call her by her past nickname.
Michy GH, who was enstooled as a queen mother in Aburi in December 2024, advised the blogger to call her by her stool name, Ohemaa Awo Yaa.

Michy and Shatta Wale's past relationship, breakup
Michy and her baby daddy, Shatta Wale, were in a romantic relationship for over eight years and were one of the biggest power couples in the Ghanaian entertainment industry. During their relationship, they welcomed their son, Alexander Majesty Mensah, on July 11, 2015.
The couple's relationship later turned sour, leading to their breakup. She moved out of their home and took custody of their child. She also severed ties with her baby daddy, including the removal of the "Shatta" name.
After their breakup, the dancehall musician's baby mama claimed that physical and emotional abuse were some of the reasons for quitting the relationship. In subsequent interviews, she characterised her eight-year relationship with Shatta Wale as a waste of her youth.
