Ghana’s entertainment landscape has been marked this week by deep personal reflections from two prominent veterans, musician Choirmaster and highlife icon Slim Buster. While Choirmaster shared a poignant tribute to his late wife, actress Beverly Afaglo, one month after her burial, Slim Buster opened up about his personal life and career philosophies during a candid radio interview. These public disclosures offer a rare glimpse into the private struggles and professional standards of figures who have shaped the Ghanaian creative industry for over a decade.
Eugene Kwadwo Boadu Baah, popularly known as Choirmaster, took to Instagram on September 8, 2026, to express the profound grief he continues to face following the passing of his wife, Beverly Afaglo. Describing his life as being at a "standstill" even as the world moves on, the musician reflected on the void left by the actress, who succumbed to cancer at age 42. Having been a couple for over 14 years, Choirmaster’s tribute highlighted the deep impact of her absence, characterizing grief as "love with nowhere to go." Beverly Afaglo was laid to rest on August 8, 2026, following a memorial that saw significant support from the showbiz community.
In a separate engagement on Okay FM, veteran musician Slim Buster shared his views on personal success and relationships. Speaking on September 11, 2026, the highlife star revealed a preference for singlehood, stating that he feels he "thrives more" when not married. Slim Buster attributed this belief to his creative process, suggesting that his past marital experiences had sometimes impacted his artistic output. His perspective provides a stark contrast to traditional societal expectations, emphasizing the necessity of personal freedom to maintain his professional drive.
Beyond his personal life, Slim Buster also reflected on his storied professional journey, specifically praising the work ethic of rapper Tic Tac. He recalled their collaboration on the classic hit "Masan Aba," describing Tic Tac as the standout partner of his career. Slim Buster noted that Tic Tac’s commitment was evident when the rapper recorded his verse over 50 times to meet the exacting standards of the production. This level of perfectionism, according to Slim Buster, was essential to achieving the final exceptional sound and underscores his own hands-on involvement in every aspect of music production.
Together, these stories highlight the multifaceted lives of Ghana’s entertainers, balancing the heavy burden of personal loss with the rigorous demands of professional excellence. While Choirmaster navigates a painful transition and pledges to keep his wife's memory alive, Slim Buster continues to define success on his own terms. Both veterans remind the public that behind the fame are individuals grappling with the complexities of love, legacy, and the relentless pursuit of perfection in their craft.
