The influencer, widely regarded as one of Ghana's most fashionable celebrities, has become the subject of intense social media discussions after she recently dragged the actress Yvonne Nelson over her 2017 comments about the red carpet.
Following the movie icon's recent appearance on the red carpet at the Ghana Movie Awards(GMA) held on Monday, June 8, 2026, Nana Akua Addo dropped a long write-up bashing the actress.
As part of the write-up, read;
“Interesting how perspectives evolve. On the 24th July 2017 , criticism was directed at me, red carpet fashion, and the effort creatives invested in “slaying” and making bold statements on the carpet. It was framed as vanity, unnecessary attention-seeking, and misplaced priorities. Fast forward to today, and we see the very same glamour being embraced: luxurious fashion, polished beauty, chauffeured arrivals, paparazzi moments, and intentional red-carpet presence.”
“So, I ask: what changed? When I boldly chose to show up differently, I wasn’t just dressing up; I was creating visibility for Ghanaian fashion, stylists, designers, makeup artists, photographers, creative directors, glam teams, and the broader creative and tourism economy.”
“ I understood, long before many did, that the red carpet was more than appearances; it was business, branding, storytelling, economic opportunity, and job creation for young creatives.”
“Why was it dismissed then, only to be embraced now? Was it misunderstood? Was it easier to criticise someone else’s moment? Or perhaps the value simply wasn’t yet recognised.”

The resurfaced photos, shared by the Ghanaian blogger "Itelllmymind", have quickly gone viral, with netizens comparing Nana Akua Addo's past fashion choices to her more recent public comments as well as those of Yvonne Nelson.
While some have used the old images to challenge her stance, others have defended her, arguing that everyone evolves.
Although neither Nana Akua Addo nor Yvonne Nelson have reacted to the throwback photos, debate has ignited on social media, with many sharing their diverse opinions.
