Empress Gifty hits back at critics over birthday car gift

Gospel musician Empress Gifty has addressed the wave of criticism following a viral video of her emotional reaction to a brand-new car gift from her husband, Hopeson Adorye. The presentation, which took place during her birthday celebrations, sparked a heated debate on social media after critics mocked the artist for her visible distress and the alleged origin of the vehicle. Empress Gifty's reaction, which saw her in tears as the car was unveiled, quickly became the center of a public back-and-forth.

Social media personality Afia Schwarzenegger was among the most vocal detractors, lampooning the gospel singer for her reaction. Afia labeled the musician "shameless" for appearing to faint with emotion, specifically targeting the make of the vehicle by referring to it dismissively as a "Chinese car." The commentary suggested that the level of public display was disproportionate to the gift received, prompting wider discourse among followers about the authenticity of the moment.

In response, Empress Gifty took to a TikTok live broadcast to fire back at those criticizing her. During the video, she mocked her detractors and defended the gesture from her husband, signaling that the opinions of social media commentators would not diminish her appreciation for the gift. The singer used the platform to assert her right to celebrate her personal milestones without interference from external critics.

The saga has further expanded to include Evangelist Patricia Asiamah, popularly known as Agradaa, who joined the conversation with a different perspective. Rather than joining the mockery, Agradaa used the trending topic to announce her own upcoming plans, declaring that she intended to surprise her husband, Angel Asiamah, with a brand-new SUV in December. The move has effectively shifted the narrative into a broader public display of marital generosity and competition within the entertainment space.
