The Ghanaian entertainment industry has been thrown into mourning following the heartbreaking death of actress and television personality Beverly Afaglo Baah, who reportedly passed away on Saturday night, May 23/24, 2026, after a two-year battle with cancer.
The beloved screen star died just four days before her 43rd birthday. Born on May 28, 1983, Beverly was widely known for her contributions to Ghana’s movie industry, television space, and entrepreneurial scene.
Her husband, musician Choirmaster, formerly of the defunct music group Praye, confirmed the tragic news in an emotional Instagram tribute that has since stirred reactions across social media.
“My heart is shattered beyond words over the death of my beloved wife Beverly Afaglo!!! It would have been just like 4 more days to your birthday but I guess the Lord wanted to Celebrate with you so he Called you,” he wrote.
He continued by describing the late actress as his strength, happiness, and the reason his life felt complete, adding that every moment spent with her would forever remain cherished.
According to reports shared by her manager, Abu Iddris, Beverly had been battling genetic breast cancer for the past two years. The illness, said to be hereditary, had previously claimed the lives of both her father and sister before eventually spreading and worsening her condition.
She reportedly passed away around 11:45 PM at the Tema International Maritime Hospital.
Before rising to fame in the movie industry, Beverly Afaglo trained as a beauty therapist and later studied at the Ghana Institute of Journalism. Over the years, she built a successful career in acting and television, starring in films such as Sidechic Gang and A Northern Affair among others.
Beyond entertainment, she also ventured into business, managing several entrepreneurial projects including shawarma outlets.
In a statement mourning her passing, the Creative Arts Agency described her death as “a great loss not only to her family but also to the entire nation and the creative arts industry she served diligently.”
Tributes have continued pouring in from fans, colleagues, and celebrities across Ghana and beyond, with many expressing shock at her passing so close to her birthday. Reports also indicate that stars including Jackie Appiah and James Gardiner gathered with family members to mourn the actress.
A one-week observance for the late actress is scheduled to hold on May 30, 2026, at the Green Flavour Events Centre in Tema.
Beverly Afaglo Baah is survived by her husband Choirmaster and their children.
May her soul rest in peace.
