Afua Asantewaa and Ama Endorsed
Media personality and former Guinness World Records contender, Afua Asantewaa, has dismissed rumours that social media influencer and skilled carpenter, Ama Endorsed, was poisoned.
The tragic passing of Comfort Esime Adzigbli, popularly known as Ama Endorsed, on April 17, 2025, plunged social media into intense grief.
Ama Endorsed died just days after celebrating her 29th birthday, during which she gifted herself a Range Rover.
Following her death, speculations have started to swirl online, with some netizens alleging that Ama had been poisoned.
Musician Keche Joshua appeared to have supported the claim, stating that she had recently secured a lucrative deal and could have been poisoned out of envy.
However, Afua Asantewaa, a close friend to the deceased, has firmly refuted such claims.
Speaking exclusively to GhanaWeekend, Afua reflected on their friendship and Ama’s legacy.
“We all started as pageantry contestants, and she was there during my first attempt at the Singathon. She would’ve been there for my second attempt if not for her work commitments.
“She was very close to her father and took on his legacy when he passed. It’s one of the reasons why she became known as ‘The Female Carpenter,” she added.
Struggling to hold back her grief, Afua continued: “We were good friends up until her passing, and I still can’t believe she’s gone. Ama was actually supposed to fix our wardrobe in our new apartment before this sudden event occurred. It just doesn’t seem real.”
On the poisoning rumours, Afua was clear in her response: “I don’t believe the slow poison story. She was surrounded by close family and friends, and everything seemed fine. It wasn’t the kind of setting where something like that could have happened.
“Not to say I don’t believe in human fallibility, but this just doesn’t add up for me. I’m not even blood, but if I feel this way, imagine how her sister feels. I believe she’ll continue Ama’s legacy.”
“She was a rare soul, and she’ll be deeply missed,” Afua concluded, paying tribute to her late friend.
