Ghanaian actress and socialite Rosemond Brown, popularly known as Akuapem Poloo, has revealed that she once paid people to insult her on social media in a bid to gain attention.
In an interview on Joy Prime’s Changes on 23rd July 2025, Poloo said that in the early days of her career, there was little media interest in her work.
“At first when I started, I was paying for people to insult me for about a year. I’ve been in the game and no one calls me and I was not getting anything but after that people were calling me for interviews, skin care deals. Stars would call me to dance or twerk on their songs and they would pay me. Even Fameye was giving me GH¢5,000 to twerk on his song,” she told the host Roselyn Felli.
According to her, the strategy worked. Her popularity grew, leading to more media attention and opportunities. Musicians began paying her to promote their songs by dancing and twerking in videos, which she said helped her financially.
She cited Ghanaian musician Fameye as one of the artistes who paid her to promote his work.
On her early acting career, Poloo recalled earning as little as GH¢20 for some roles. However, she noted that her work with GBC’s Obra series paid better, attributing the improved conditions to veteran actress Maame Dokono.
“As for the acting, GH¢20, with GBC they were giving me something better because of legendary Maame Dokono, so she was taking good care of us but with the others it was GH¢20,” she said.
