Recently, the families of dancers Afronita and Abigail Dromo have dominated social media trends due to an internal dispute that quickly escalated and caught public attention.
According to reports, Abigail Dromo’s family accused Afronita’s family of disrespect, while Afronita’s family blamed Abigail’s family for miscommunication.
In an interview with Kwadwo Sheldon, Abigail’s uncle, who is now also acting as her manager, alleged that Afronita had taken back all the dresses and shoes she had bought for Abigail amidst their family feud.
This bickering followed their appearance on BGT, where they placed third in the competition. Until recently, it was reported that the two had parted ways, a report that Afronita confirmed in a self-made video that went viral on social media.
However, late yesterday, the two dancers returned to Ghana from the UK.
In a series of videos recorded at Kotoka International Airport, the two dancers were seen happily together, accompanied by their family members. They were met at the arrival hall by some kids from Afronita’s Afro Star dance crew.
The videos show Afronita and Abigail beaming with smiles as they exited the arrival hall at Kotoka International Airport’s Terminal 3, greeting their fans and families who had gathered to welcome them.
Ghanaians who have seen the heartwarming videos have urged the two dancers to set aside their differences and continue working together.

Veteran music producer Appietus has acknowledged Reggie Rockstone’s crucial role in the creation and popularization of Hiplife, a genre that merges Ghanaian highlife music with hip-hop influences.
In a recent interview on Channel One TV discussing “Ghana’s Musical Identity,” Appietus emphasized that Reggie Rockstone deserves recognition for his pioneering efforts in the early 1990s.
According to Appietus, Rockstone’s vision and innovation laid the groundwork for a new wave of Ghanaian music that has become a staple in the country’s entertainment industry.
While Reggie Rockstone has long asserted that he originated Hiplife, several key figures who have significantly contributed to the genre’s growth have disputed this claim.
“Reggie Rockstone is undeniably the originator of Hiplife,” Appietus stated. “He brought a unique fusion of highlife and hip-hop that resonated with the youth and created a whole new musical movement. Without Reggie’s groundbreaking work, Hiplife as we know it today wouldn’t exist.”
