Hajia4Reall appeared on TikTok Live on Sunday, May 10, 2026, as she went on an outing with alleged boyfriend Richard Nii Armah Quaye’s children.
During her video, she also spoke about relationship issues with a very close friend of hers.
As they spoke about dating cute men, Hajia4Reall began praising the beauty of men and women from the Northern part of Ghana, where she hails from.
She took it a step further by alleging that the reason some Asantes are ‘cute’ was due to an ancient practice of the tribe bringing tall men from the north to their communities to mate with their women.
"Whenever I travel, and I tell people I am from Ghana, they would be like, 'Are you sure? Ghanaians don't look like this, so I tell them I am from the Northern part of Ghana. Let me not lie to you guys, God blessed Northerners with beauty. Asantes should go and ask their grandparents. They used to bring people from the north to mate with Asantes so that they could give birth to cute kids,” she said.

Hajia4reall's comments also sparked outrage from popular Ghanaian blogger, thosecalledcelebs, a proud Asante, who took her to task for her claims.

Reactions to Hajia4Reall’s Asantes claim
YEN.com.gh compiled some comments reacting to the viral claim by Hajia4Reall regarding Asante women and Northern men.
iam_fadi3 said:
"Beauty is everywhere in Ghana, not only in one tribe or region 😊Being mixed race can also make someone stand out differently, but let’s not make it seem like other Ghanaian women are not beautiful. Ghanaian women as a whole are naturally beautiful. I’m from the Volta region of Ghana, I have done no surgery, I’m 💯 Ghanaian, and I’m more beautiful than Hajia for real. Take it or leave it."

"Herr, if you wanna trend, trend in peace and leave Ashantis out oh or ego over you."
vinetropics commented:
"Ashanti’s too have suffered ooooo, so for every person to express themselves without Ashantis being mentioned, they can’t. How did Ashanti come into this convo?"

Entertainment editor addresses Hajia4Reall's comments
In an interview with YEN.com.gh, Managing Editor of Zionfelix.net, Chris Kofi Osei, discussed Hajia4Reall's controversial comments.
"Hajia4Reall really jumped the shark with her comments here. Tribal issues always bring heated reactions among Ghanaians, and it is always best to stay away from them. From a public figure of her standing, her words here are truly disappointing," he said.
