The compilation included clips from their honeymoon in Cape Coast, the birth of their twin daughters, family vacations, and intimate behind-the-scenes footage of the couple dancing and laughing together.
“It’s your birthday in heaven today, and I wish I could join you… but you know I have to stay in this difficult world to take care of the girls,” the musician wrote. “Your passing has made me realise how much Ghanaians admired the love we shared. Rest on, superstar. Happy birthday, R.I.P. #mylove.”

Close family sources revealed that Choirmaster is currently receiving medical attention to help him cope with the sudden loss. “He is devastated. Beverly was not just his wife; she was his best friend, biggest supporter, and the light of their home,” said a family member. “The twins are also struggling to understand why their mother is no longer here.”
Rise to Fame
Beverly Afaglo rose to prominence through her roles in several popular Ghanaian movies and TV series, where her vibrant personality and acting prowess earned her a loyal fan base. She was known for balancing her career with family life, often appearing alongside her husband at industry events and charity functions.
Their love story captured public attention from the moment they met at a charity concert in Kumasi over a decade ago. What began as playful banter on stage blossomed into a deep romance.
The couple tied the knot in a modest yet memorable ceremony and frequently shared glimpses of their family life on social media, inspiring many young couples across Ghana and the diaspora.
Industry colleagues have described Afaglo as a dedicated professional who brought warmth and professionalism to every set. “She was full of life and always ready to encourage others,” said one actress who worked with her on multiple projects. “Her passing is a huge loss to Ghanaian cinema.”
As tributes continue to pour in, many Ghanaians are reflecting on the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing loved ones. Social media has been filled with messages urging people to celebrate their partners while they are still present.
Choirmaster, who built his brand on soul-stirring hiplife tracks, has not yet announced plans for any musical tribute, but insiders suggest he may channel his grief into new work dedicated to his late wife. For now, his priority remains caring for their two young daughters, Nana and Nhyira.
The family has requested privacy as they navigate this difficult period but expressed gratitude for the overwhelming show of support from Ghanaians and the broader African entertainment community.
Afaglo’s remains are expected to be laid to rest in the coming days, with funeral arrangements to be communicated by the family soon.
Her death has sparked renewed conversations about health awareness in the creative industry, with some calling for better support systems for public figures facing private health battles.
As the sun set on what should have been a joyful celebration, Choirmaster’s words resonated far beyond his personal grief. In a country where love stories in the spotlight often face intense scrutiny, the couple’s authentic bond stood out as genuine and inspiring.
Though Beverly Afaglo may no longer be physically present, her memory and the love she shared with Choirmaster continue to shine brightly in the hearts of many.
