• Reacting to the throwback footage on Instagram, the singer wrote, “Lol I guess I lied... Oppsssssss,” prompting amusement among social media users.

• The video resurfaced days after Efya married Nigerian musician Tomi Thomas in Accra on 6 November 2026, followed by the dedication of their daughter on 8 November.
