The ‘Queen’ finally speaks, says she is motivated by public criticisms
Winner of Ghana’s Most Beautiful season X, Yaba
has revealed how she missed out on the opportunity
to compete in last year’s competition, but
believes it was the will of God.

Yaba was crowned the ‘Legacy Queen’ on Sunday
beating off competition from four other
contestants to wear the prestigious crown which
she gets to keep for good, in addition to GHc10,
000 cash prize, a four wheel drive car, and a trip
to South Africa.

Speaking on TV3’s Midday news, the newly crowned
queen revealed how she narrowly missed out on the
auditioning for last year’s competition.
“It’s amazing because last year, I came and
when I got here I was told the audition was over
so they didn’t even attend to me and I had to go
back.

“I was sad but I didn’t know God was planning
something for me so this year I had gone for a
debate tournament and on my way back to Takoradi,
a friend called and told me the audition was the
next day in Kumasi so I just had to get to
Takoradi and come back to Kumasi for the auditions
the next day”.

She recalled a moment during the Accra auditioning
when she was asked to sing the KNUST anthem which
was in Latin as one she would never forget. “I
remember when Bro KK asked me to sing the KNUST
school anthem which I sang to some point until I
couldn’t go anymore and everyone started
laughing but that reduced the tension anyway”.

Response to criticisms According to her she is not
bothered by criticisms on social media that she
didn’t deserve the crown. Rather, she said, they
will motivate her to work harder to prove to them
that she deserves it on any level.

“These criticisms are motivating me rather and
not affecting me negatively because I know what I
did and I know I deserved it and they gave it to
me so I’m going to work hard to prove those who
are criticising me wrong.” Project “My project
is based on breast cancer because I lost an aunty
through breast cancer two years ago so it is very
dear to me”.

According to Yaba, she is ready to take up the
campaign against breast cancer with all the
seriousness and hopes to make an impact in the
lives of people “This is not something I’ve
heard of and want to do because I have seen it, I
have lived with it and I am even at risk. Because
it is hereditary there is no way I’m giving up
on my project and I’m going to start from the
Jomoro district and gradually we will move through
the entire Western region and hopefully the whole
Ghana”.
