Osanju tears up at Amonu's one week
Ghanaian content creator Elvis Frimpong, popularly known as Osanju, attended his mum's one-week observation on February 13, 2025.
The viral TikTok sensation, who has been cosigned by several top brands and stars, including Nana Ama McBrown, lost his mother last month.
Osanju's mother, Veronica Frimpong, popularly known as Amonu, was a key feature in his viral online content.
After Amonu's passing, Osanju, seemingly influenced by his beliefs, vowed not to fully participate in his mother's funeral rites, especially her one-week observation.
The content creator, a staunch Jehovah's Witness, established that it was senseless for people to gather just for his mother's funeral date to be communicated as custom demanded.
He received heavy backlash for his stance and demeanour toward Amonu's death.
In a turn of events, Osanju was seen at the event near tears in his funeral cloth, mourning with his TikTok colleagues, including Oheneba Jude and Ama Yeboah.

Speaking at the event, the content creator explained that he was somewhat new to the customary requirements for mourning relatives and had never worn funeral attire.
Osanju added that he could not fully accept that his mother, Amonu, had died until the one-week observation.
Amonu's funeral has been scheduled for March 22, 2025.
