I’m Not A Celebrity – Sally Responds To Criticisms

Ghanaian media personality, Sally Mann, has responded to the criticism she faced over her appearance at the funeral of Gospel musician Empress Gifty’s mother, which took place on Saturday, January 18, 2025.

Sally was spotted wearing a simple green jumpsuit dress, highlighting her natural beauty with a bare face and accessorizing with a traditional scarf.

The funeral of Evangelist Agnes Aba Annan, the late mother of renowned gospel musician Empress Gifty, attracted numerous celebrities who dressed to impress. Notable attendees included business moguls Osei Kwame Despite and Dr. Ernest Ofori Sarpong, politician Alan Kyerematen, and former National Lottery Authority Director-General, Sammy Awuku.

Also in attendance were media personality Stacy Amoateng, Prophet Ogyaba, gospel musicians Piesie Esther and Joe Mettle, as well as Kumawood actor Big Akwes, among others.

Sally’s appearance quickly went viral, sparking a mix of compliments and harsh criticism across social media.

In response, Sally addressed the criticism on her *Adom Showtym* entertainment talk show, defending herself against the trolls. She emphasized that her attendance was solely to support Empress Gifty during a difficult time.

“I am not a celebrity living a fake life. Unlike those who wear corsets to funerals, I choose authenticity. You can’t expect me to wear a corset dress while mourning with my friend Empress Gifty. When I started dressing, your celebrity friends were in Côte d’Ivoire struggling or hanging out in the ghetto smoking weed,” she remarked.

She continued, “If I decide to wear a jumpsuit to support my friend in organizing the funeral program and you don’t understand, please leave me alone. I’m not a celebrity.
