Ghanaian musician and gold dealer Cross Asennua has sparked conversations online after showcasing authentic gold in a viral TikTok video. In the video, he not only flaunted his gold but also took a firm stance against scammers who claims they are rich.
In the viral video, Asennua showcased stacks of gold and chains, insisting that gold business money is more sustainable than online fraud. His statement has since sparked a heated debate, with many social media users taking sides.
Social Media Reactions
Supporters of Asennua praised him for highlighting Tarkwa’s wealth, with comments like:
“Tarkwa money is real wealth, not fake flexing!”
“Gold business is generational wealth, not quick cash.”
However, others defended Tema, arguing that not all its wealthy residents are scammers:
“Not every Tema guy does fraud; let’s not generalize.”
“Both cities have money—different sources, same goal.”
Gold vs. Digital Wealth
Tarkwa is known as Ghana’s gold mining hub, with many young men making fortunes through legal and small-scale mining. Meanwhile, Tema, a business hub, has a mix of legitimate entrepreneurs and individuals involved in online schemes.
Asennua’s claim has fueled an ongoing rivalry between those who earn wealth traditionally and those who rely on digital means. Whether or not his statement is accurate, it has certainly kept social media buzzing.
Will Tema’s “big boys” respond with their own show of wealth? The debate continues.
