Sista Afia is a Ghanaian singer
Ghanaian singer Sista Afia has reflected on the hardships she endured while living in the United Kingdom.
In an interview with Zionfelix, shared on YouTube on February 10, 2026, the acclaimed musician revealed that life in the UK became unbearable while she was working as a nurse, prior to pursuing music professionally.
According to her, she was forced to sleep in her car and at friends’ apartments before eventually relocating to Ghana.

“It got to a point where I had issues with rent, so I didn’t have a place to sleep. I was sleeping in my friends’ apartments or in my car. I even packed all my things into the back of my car.
“At that time, nothing was going well, and I was depressed at a very early age. If you had offered to take me to Togo, I would have gone. Coming to Ghana was the only option,” she said.

Sista Afia further noted that relocating to Ghana was the best decision she ever made.
According to her, she found a new sense of life and purpose after returning to the country.
“It was fun and nice. Funnily enough, we have a family house, so I didn’t struggle to find a place to sleep. I also had friends I went to school with in Ghana, so I was very happy,” she added.
