Freda, the ex-wife of popular Kumawood actor and comedian Big Akwes, has opened up about her alleged experience of being deceived into marriage with a “fake and cheap” wedding ring.
In a candid video shared on 24 August 2025, Freda used her ordeal to advise other women against settling for less in relationships. Standing before the camera and holding up the ring she received during their secret 2023 wedding, she said: “My prayer is that no man should propose to you with this useless ring.”
