Personal Life

Becca resides in Accra, Ghana, with her husband, Oluwatobi Sanni Daniel, a Nigerian economist and artist manager, whom she married on August 18, 2018, in a private ceremony. They welcomed a daughter in February 2019, which Becca kept private, avoiding pregnancy posts on social media.

Her relationship with her parents, particularly her father, was strained in 2012 due to rumors of an affair with her manager, Kiki Banson, leading to her father publicly disowning her.

She advocates for women’s empowerment and education, often reflected in songs like “African Woman.” Her hobbies include playing the guitar and supporting social causes.
