TikToker accuses Vincent Assafuah of solicitation

On Tuesday, March 10, 2026, a few days after the MP’s wedding, Ghanaian TikToker Lopez accused him of wooing her a few months before his marriage.

She shared several videos on her official TikTok page alleging that she had had interactions with Assafuah five months before his wedding to Dr Charis and that they even went on a date.

On March 12, Vincent Assafuah responded in an interview, denying any interaction with the TikToker and threatening legal action.

“First and foremost, let me indicate that I have not dealt with anybody like that. What has been put out there is palpable falsehood. It has nothing to do with the truth. I have not entered her DM."
"I have not exchanged any messages with her whatsoever. I don't know where she got those screenshots from,” he said.

Lopez later apologised for her claims, stating that she had faced multiple threats and wanted to move on with her life.
