In a TikTok video, one of them stated that they had been begging their parents to take them to the Makola market since they arrived in Ghana.
The four girls went with their mother and aunt to the market. According to their mother, even though she hadn't planned to shop, the food she saw made her change her mind.
She bought several things to travel back to the UK. They bought cow legs, popularly called kotodwe in Ghana, crabs, wele, salted beef, smoked fish, and goat meat, among others.
They met some of the market women who dance with Official Starter on the Happy Town Project, which is shared on social media.
The girls were excited to meet the women because, according to them, they often watch their videos on social media. They took pictures with the women and continued their Makola tour.
