Asantewaa admitted that the few times she cried on camera and shared on TikTok were fake.
She mentioned on TV3 that the majority of the crying in her videos was simply for entertainment purposes and not a reflection of her true emotions.
The famed Ghanaian TikTok personality and her brother Kayverli made an appearance on the Day Show, during which Kayverli disclosed to Berla Mundi that she seldom sheds tears, even when confronted with hurtful remarks or insults on social media.
“She doesn’t really cry. She’s very strong,” he noted. Talking about her infamous tears, Asantewaa said “Oh, it’s just content. I can produce tears right now. I’m an actress,” she explained.
Opening up about a video where she was supposedly crying while editing comments about her childbirth, she disclosed that it was just an act to bring awareness to the effects of negativity on social media.
“That was me in other women’s shoes. (I was trying to show) how people are when being molested. For me, I’m okay. But there are others. Someone might commit suicide and all that. So that was me putting myself in people’s shoes,” she said.
However, Asantewaa also acknowledged that she had broken down earlier in her content creation journey, particularly, when she was coming to terms with the harsh realities of online criticism.
“That particular time was when I was now understanding… people would always be people. So, it was left for me to understand that that wasn’t the only time I was going to go through that. I would still face worse situations,” she said.
