At just nine years old, Ghanaian dancer and young humanitarian Maameyaawells is expanding her creative journey into music, emerging as one of the youngest female rappers making waves with a message-driven six-track EP.
The talented youngster, who has already attracted attention for her dance abilities and humanitarian activities, has released a six-song project titled “I’m Money.”
The EP features “Be Content,” “I’m Money,” “Stay Hard,” “Cyber Bullying,” “Together We Stand,” and “Backbiting.”
Unlike projects focused solely on entertainment, Maameyaawells’ debut music offering tackles issues that affect young people and society, including contentment, perseverance, cyberbullying, unity and the negative effects of backbiting.
The project further demonstrates the youngster’s versatility as she moves beyond dance to explore music and use her voice to communicate positive messages to her generation.
A young talent with a purpose
Maameyaawells’ creative journey extends beyond entertainment.
On February 14, 2026, she began her humanitarian initiative by using her first earnings of GH₵14,000 to provide books and educational materials and feed more than 300 people on the streets of Madina, around Zongo Junction.
She followed that up on May 22, 2026, by distributing 500 sanitary pads to students at the La Nkwantanang Cluster of Schools in Madina, promoting menstrual hygiene, dignity and confidence among young girls.
Her humanitarian activities are funded through earnings from her dance performances and online activities, with the support of her parents.
Breaking barriers internationally
The nine-year-old has also made history on the international stage.
Maameyaawells is recognised as the first Ghanaian child dancer to teach a dance class in the United States, following a dance session she hosted in Houston, Texas, at Afrirock.
Her achievements in dance, humanitarian work and now music have positioned her as an emerging young Ghanaian creative with a growing platform.
With the release of “I’m Money,” Maameyaawells hopes to inspire children and young people to use their talents positively while speaking openly about issues affecting society.
At only nine years old, she is proving that age does not have to be a barrier to creativity, leadership or social impact.
Her journey—from a young dancer to an international dance instructor, humanitarian and now rapper—continues to attract attention as she builds a platform aimed at entertaining, educating and inspiring her generation.
