“I almost did BBL” — Akuapem Poloo reveals she turned down sponsorship

Ghanaian social media personality Rosemond Alade Brown, popularly known as Akuapem Poloo, has opened up about a past relationship in which she was encouraged to undergo body enhancement surgery, an offer she says she eventually declined.

Speaking in an interview with UTV, the controversial but outspoken celebrity disclosed that an ex-boyfriend once volunteered to finance cosmetic surgery aimed at enhancing her body shape, particularly her buttocks, an idea she initially considered before backing out.

She recounted that she nearly went through with the procedure but eventually reconsidered after reflecting deeply on the decision and its long-term implications.

“I was once dating a man who told me to go and do buttocks enhancement surgery and he would pay for it. I nearly did it, but I thought about it thoroughly and decided not to do it,” she said.

Akuapem Poloo further explained that her experience made her more aware of how some men appear to show preference for women who have undergone cosmetic procedures, especially on social media platforms where such women often dominate attention.

“Sometimes, you get frustrated, especially when you realise he only follows women who have undergone surgery on his social media platforms. We ladies normally do check the kind of women our men follow,” she added.

The actress noted that women in relationships often observe their partners closely, including their online behaviour, even when men assume they are not being watched.

“When I’m in love with you, there are some things I would find out about you and you would think I don’t know,” she stated.

She also suggested that some men indirectly influence their partners to alter their bodies but later distance themselves from those decisions, denying any responsibility for the pressure.

“Some men frustrate their partners to enhance their body, but they would tend to deny the fact that they made you do it. They surround themselves with women who have enhanced their bodies, but they don’t end up marrying such women,” she claimed.

Akuapem Poloo further expressed her view that, despite the attraction some men show toward surgically enhanced figures, many ultimately prefer women with natural body features in long-term relationships.

“Most women who have done their body can’t keep men in their lives. That’s because men want their women to have a natural body. They don’t also respect because they think they have perfect body,” she added.

Her comments have since sparked renewed conversation around beauty standards, relationship expectations, and the growing influence of cosmetic enhancement trends in Ghana’s entertainment and social media space.
