Ghanaian socialite Xandy Kamel has come to the defense of actress Fella Makafui following recent criticism regarding the body enhancement products she promotes.
Kamel emphasized that customers purchase these products voluntarily, without any coercion from Makafui, and urged critics to cease their negative commentary.
“Those ridiculing Fella should be cautious; she didn’t compel anyone to purchase her slimming tea products, so be restrained in your criticism,” Kamel stated in Twi during an Instagram live session.
Reflecting on her own experiences, Kamel recalled facing backlash for criticizing slimming teas due to their potential health risks. She mentioned being insulted and her family being targeted when she shared her negative experiences with the product.
“I warned that the slimming tea could cause kidney issues and other adverse effects, but no one listened. I was accused of harboring animosity towards those selling the products,” she shared.
This defense follows reports of Fella Makafui’s release after her detention for selling unregistered drugs from her Mempeasem store.
Investigative journalist Akwasi Koranteng, affiliated with ISPYGH 247 and the Pharmacy Council Ghana, reported Makafui’s May 22, 2024, arrest following a six-month surveillance of her social media activities.
Confiscated items included fertility teas, enlargement syrups and oils, detox pearls, and sexual vitality teas, allegedly marketed without FDA approval.
However, Makafui’s management has denied the arrest claims, stating on May 23, 2024, that she was merely summoned for questioning.
