Veteran Ghanaian actress Adjoa Pee has publicly accused Kumawood actor Mr Beautiful of taking part of the money former President John Mahama sent to support her during her illness. In an interview with Bro Emmanuel, Adjoa Pee claimed that about four years ago, Mr Beautiful reached out to Mahama on her behalf for financial support. She alleged that Mr Beautiful told her he was keeping part of the money as his transportation fee, leaving her deeply disappointed.
Adjoa Pee, whose real name is Helena Maame Adwoa Petreba Pieterson, has spoken publicly about her frustrations with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) before. In August 2025, she told Bro Emmanuel that she had received no reward from the party despite campaigning for it since 2012. She claimed some individuals within the NDC had blocked opportunities she should have received from Mahama and his wife, Lordina Mahama.
According to Adjoa Pee, Mr Beautiful ignored her calls during her struggles, adding to her disappointment. Mahama, who was in opposition at the time of her illness, returned to power after winning the December 2024 election. Adjoa Pee's claims against Mr Beautiful have sparked a heated debate on social media, with some users urging the public to hear Mr Beautiful's side of the story.
YEN.com.gh could not independently verify Adjoa Pee's claims and had not seen a response from Mr Beautiful at the time of writing. However, a TikTok video of Adjoa Pee, in which she makes the claims, has been widely shared on social media. Social media users have reacted to the allegations, with some questioning whether Adjoa Pee needed the support at all.
Some social media users have expressed skepticism about Adjoa Pee's claims, with Joojo Sly writing that someone who frequently travels in and out of the US does not need the financial support of the president. Others, like George Abunyewah Kofi, have called for Mr Beautiful to be given the opportunity to respond to the allegations.
This is not the first time Mr Beautiful has been in the news for his health. In April 2026, he dismissed rumors about his health during an appearance at AshantiFest 2026 in Kumasi. Speaking to blogger De Prince, he insisted he was not sick and had never been sick, explaining that his long absence from the spotlight was a personal choice.
The allegations against Mr Beautiful have raised questions about the relationship between celebrities and those who provide them with support. Adjoa Pee's claims have also sparked a wider conversation about the accountability of public figures and the need for transparency in their dealings.
