The Ghanaian TV presenter called out the choristers of the church over a dress style they wore as uniform.

"This is my intellectual property Action Chapel Church. Your choristers stole my design. Something that I am selling. That is wickedness. Pure wickedness, " Serwaa said in an X post as she shared a photo of the choristers in their uniform dresses.

However, minutes after her posts, critics also called her out with photos that show that her clothing brand is not the originator of the style. Accordingly, Serwaa Amihere quickly deleted her post.
