The Ghanaian entertainment industry is grieving the loss of beloved actress and entrepreneur Beverly Afaglo, who passed away on Saturday, May 23, at the International Maritime Hospital in Tema after a two-year battle with cancer. She was 42 years old. Her death has sent shockwaves across the country, with colleagues, fans, and family members expressing deep sorrow over the loss of a talented and resilient woman who remained active in her profession despite her illness.
Beverly Afaglo’s manager, Abu Iddris, confirmed the news during an interview on Sunday, May 24. He described her fight against cancer as long and painful, but emphasized her strength and determination throughout the ordeal. “She battled cancer for two years. It was a long and painful fight, but she remained strong throughout,” Iddris said. The illness initially began as breast cancer and later spread due to hereditary factors, complicating her treatment and recovery.
Despite her deteriorating health, Beverly Afaglo continued to fulfill her professional and family responsibilities. Iddris revealed that she remained actively involved in her career, participating in photo shoots, movie promotions, and premieres even while undergoing therapy. “We still worked on projects with her during treatment. She kept pushing and lived as fully as she could until the illness became overwhelming,” he added, highlighting her unwavering spirit.
Her husband, musician Eugene Baah—better known as Choirmaster or Praye Ho Ne Ho of the music group Praye—also confirmed her passing in a heartfelt social media post on Sunday. He shared the news with his followers, underscoring the emotional toll on their family. Beverly’s decision to return to Ghana from the United States, where she had sought medical care, was driven by her desire to be close to her children. Though doctors advised her to remain in the U.S. for better healthcare, she chose to return home to spend her final days with her loved ones.
The actress’s dedication to her family and career, even in the face of severe illness, has left a lasting impression on those who knew her. Her family has not yet released details about funeral arrangements as they continue to mourn her loss privately. The entertainment community in Ghana and beyond is remembering Beverly Afaglo not only for her contributions to film and business but also for her courage and grace during her final years. Her legacy will undoubtedly inspire many in the years to come.
