In 2012, there were speculations that Ghanaian musician-Efya was into hard core drugs–-she came out at the time to deny doing such drugs while insisting that she only smokes CIGARETTES.
Speaking to Hitz Entertainment in 2012, Efya said “I don’t use narcotics before my performance, after my performance, through my performance and during the day. I don’t do drugs, me, my name is E-F-Y-A and I do not do drugs,”.
She continued “I don’t know why people say I do drugs, nobody out there who has said that I do drugs has ever seen me do it. I can swear down and tell you that because I don’t do drugs. I smoke cigarettes, I do that you see me doing it when I’m out it’s my thing but nobody can judge me on that but the thing is I don’t do drugs,”.

She added, “I have heard this; I have heard it over and over since the University but the thing is nobody has ever come out with any kind of solid evidence that I do drugs.”
So Efya herself admitted to smoking but her mother- Nana Adwoa Awindor of ‘Greetings from Abroad’ fame, has come out this week to say, she has never seen her daughter smoke—sort of saying it never happens instead of advising her.
This the definition of a bad parent. Efya has on record admitted to smoking and many people have confirmed seeing her smoking—others even allege she smokes too much weed and here is her mother saying this.
Even if you have never seen her smoking, what about checking her lips, her smell and more importantly, asking her?
JOY Fm reports that, Efya’s mother who is a Development Queenmother of Afigya-Kwabre District, said it is not fair to concoct stories about her daughter with no evidence. “You need to know, you need to see it, you need to appreciate it. If you don’t have the information you don’t go peddling it,” Nana Adwoa Awindor stressed.
She noted that, “I have not seen my daughter smoking before… so how can I go tell people she does? So if people haven’t seen it and I have asked a lot people ‘have you talking about it, seen her doing something like that before?’ If you say yes, then fine you have seen it, I haven’t so I don’t have to go peddling it.”
She also stated that “So if somebody dedicates his or her life to be in show business just to entertain us…we should be there for the people as well but within the show business you realise that there is competition there is so much of those squabbles and so some of the stories are created within…and of course our media loves [negative stories] and so sometimes they take it up and blow it beyond proportion.”
REALLY? She deserves to win the best parent of the year award!
its possible because kids do not do alot of things around their parents and you all can attest to that.
She is a liar and a bad parent because her daufhter smokes? I hope to see what your daufhter becomes. So what if she even smokes? Has it affected her singing? Focus on the talent she shares with you. Only in Ghana is smoking treated like evil while pastors are doing hard drugs in private. Over zealous moral country but everything that matters is shit in the country. Continue wondering about who smokes or not. Maybe the cedi will start to rise after you insult another parent.
This lady is such a liar. When she was parading herself half naked on UG campus with a joint in her hands she was expecting people not to spread such rumours. She has even mentioned on the One Show before that she smokes cigarrettes and weed and doesnt consider marijuana to be a drug. So according to her whilst she doesn’t do coke and heroine and meth ect, she doesn’t do hard drugs despite weed being labelled as such in GH. This is the epitome of a bad mother; what does she expect when she enables this behaviour. Even her own mother has had the smoking rumours following her for sometime.
Yeah we all know Efya smokes weed and her mother is here talking like she supports her
Nonsense, why won’t see know she smokes? She can see from her lips. So she means she has not asked her? if she can say on radio she smokes for everyone to hear I doubt she will lie to her mother if she asks her
Hypocrites! Do your mothers know what you do and keep from them? You come here and pass judgement. Wait until you have an adult daughter in the spotlight before you get up and call someone a bad parent. This article is very insensitive and judgemental. Why, are we on MediaTakeoOut? I am very disappointed.
