Empress Gifty Criticizes Ernest Chemists for Using Her Late Mother's Photo

Ghanaian gospel singer Empress Gifty has criticized Ernest Chemists Limited. The company used a photo of her late mother, Evangelist Agnes Aba Annan, known as Agaga, on a billboard.

Empress Gifty questioned why they did not contact her first. She expressed her concerns during a live TikTok session. Many suggested she consider legal action against the company.

Observers noted that contacting Empress Gifty could clarify the situation. It would also allow the company to explain their actions and possibly offer compensation.

In her video, Empress Gifty emphasized that she received no prior communication from the company. "She is dead, and you did not pick up the phone to call me," she lamented.

She stated that it was not about seeking money but respect for her mother’s name. Empress Gifty mentioned buying medical supplies from Ernest Chemists while caring for her mother.

She recalled spending significant amounts on medical bills during her mother's illness. "Some days I spent about GH¢5,000 or GH¢6,000," she said.

Reactions to her warning varied online. Some supported her stance while others criticized her approach. One commenter suggested she should investigate the agency behind the advertisement.

Recently, Empress Gifty visited her mother's gravesite in an emotional moment. She poured powder on the grave as a gesture of love and remembrance.

In a heartfelt caption, she described her mother as irreplaceable and expressed how much she missed her presence. Fans responded with messages of comfort and support during this difficult time.
