At 15 years old, Diana Asamoah found herself caught between loyalty to her unborn child’s father and her furious father, who had the man arrested for getting her pregnant. But when the police questioned her, she shocked everyone by insisting the relationship was consensual.
Now 39 years old and a social media sensation known for her viral ‘Opoku & His Sugar Mummy’ skits, Diana shared her emotional journey on The Delay Show on March 29, 2025.
“My dad said he raped me, but I told the police he didn’t—it was consensual. That got my dad really angry, and we had a serious challenge. My aunt had to step in to resolve the issue,” she recounted.
Diana was a student at Liberty International School when she became pregnant by a 25-year-old chief apprentice at Suame Magazine. Their relationship began when he invited her over under the pretense of giving her something for his sister, Diana’s classmate.
Her father, outraged by the pregnancy, had the man arrested. However, after spending a day in police custody, he was released when Diana defended him.
Despite the tense situation, the man took responsibility for the child and even assumed full custody when the baby turned two years old. However, his rocky relationship with Diana’s father led to their breakup just five months later.
Determined to make something of herself, Diana’s child’s father sponsored her to learn hairdressing, but after two years, she abandoned the training and moved to Accra, where she started selling food and footwear.
She later got married, but the union lasted only a year. After her divorce, she returned to Kumasi, where a friend, Helena, invited her to Director Borbor’s film set—an opportunity that launched her acting career.
Diana Asamoah has since become a household name, playing a sugar mummy in viral skits alongside Opoku Bilson. Her comedic talent and bold personality have won her a massive following on social media.
Now, at 39, the actress is thriving, and her 22-year-old child maintains a good relationship with both parents.
