On Thursday, April 9, 2026, Edwin Gyimah dragged his sister and some family members to Auntie Naa's Oyerepa Afutuo show over a dispute that had persisted between them in recent years.
During the emotional interview, the 35-year-old ex-Orlando Pirates defender struggled to hold back tears as he described how his life had unravelled after his footballing career dwindled.
Gyimah alleged that spiritual attacks from family members had contributed to his sudden decline, insisting that the very people he trusted had taken everything from him.
The ex-Black Stars player, who was financially stable during his playing days, stated that he, his wife, and his children were living in difficult conditions in Ghana.
Gyimah accused his family, especially his sister Felicia, of neglect and illegally taking over his eight-bedroom house while he remained homeless and financially unstable with his wife and children.
The ex-Black Stars also engaged in a heated exchange with his sister, whom Auntie Naa questioned about the allegations during the show.
On Wednesday, Gyimah, accompanied by Auntie Naa's team and police officers, stormed his Obuasi house to evict his family.

Edwin Gyimah's mother speaks on son's homelessness
In an interview on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, Edwin Gyimah's mother recounted how her son suffered significant injuries from an accident involving her car many years ago.
She claimed that her son previously had multiple houses and cars in Ghana and South Africa, which he later sold during his financial struggles.
Speaking about Gyimah's current homelessness, the mother claimed that her ex-Black Stars' problems started after a public altercation with a coach.
According to her, the coach, angered by her son's actions, allegedly cursed him that he would remain homeless and experience severe hardships for the rest of his life.
She claimed that Gyimah's downfall began shortly after the alleged curse on his life.
She said:
"He (Edwin Gyimah) fought with a coach. The coach told him that he would become homeless and that he would ruin his life wherever he went. Truly, whenever he moved abroad, he would be sent back to Ghana."

Gyimah's mother accused the father-in-law of manipulating her son and telling him that she had threatened his life.
She noted that she was fearful of the father-in-law and accused him of peddling falsehoods.
