Ghanaian fashion icon Nana Akua Addo has rubbished assertions by Ghanaians that she is self-conceited and thus does not want to associate with events organized by Charterhouse.

This comes after she was seen gracing the just-ended 2025 African Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) but was not seen at the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).

As a result, a section of Ghanaians criticized her, stating that she values foreign red carpet events more than Ghana's.

Addressing the matter in an interview on 3FM, Nana Akua Addo stated, “Charterhouse for me is home, Charterhouse gave me the first platform to fame, they groomed me to become the woman I am, I can never take that space for granted,” she said.

Nana Akua Addo made it clear that no matter how big her brand becomes, she will never feel too important to attend an event organised by Charterhouse.

“There will be no day that Charterhouse will invite me, and I will feel I am bigger, never. The relationship I have with Charterhouse is personal, they have groomed me for who I am, and I can never take that for granted,” she stated.

The fashion icon leveraged the opportunity to charge Ghanaian event organizers to take their red-carpet event a notch higher in the country.

“Our space, that is, coming on the red carpet, has come of age where organisers need to think about how to select certain people they want on the red carpet and also pay attention to the appearance fee because whatever we do, we have to pay these vendors,” she added.
