Ghana’s entertainment scene is reeling after the release of a video documenting Bubune GMB’s candid conversation about the devastating loss of her newborn son. The footage, originally filmed in November 2025 on TV3 Ghana’s talk show ‘The Ladies Circle,’ reveals Bubune’s struggles with a recently diagnosed cancer, the heartbreaking circumstances surrounding her bone marrow transplant, and the profound impact of her loss. The video, which has rapidly gone viral, depicts Bubune seated among a panel of women discussing survival, family, and faith. The former 2013 Ghana’s Most Beautiful runner-up, a prominent figure in Ghanaian entertainment, shared her personal health journey for the first time publicly. According to a report from the Ghana Medical Association, Bubune underwent eight chemotherapy sessions in Ghana, but the most significant blow came when doctors informed her that treatment was nearing completion, requiring a full bone marrow transplant abroad – either in South Africa or India – to prevent a relapse. Facing the significant financial burden of international medical travel after already heavily investing in local treatment, Bubune admitted she questioned whether to continue fighting the illness. Despite these moments of despair, she held on, with her husband, who she described as hiding his tears from her to appear strong, her sister, who is a nurse and stayed by her side throughout, and her two young children reciting Bible verses to her. The family kept the diagnosis from her entirely until Bubune travelled to India for the transplant. The resurfacing of her words has ignited a wave of emotional response among Ghanaians, particularly those grappling with similar losses. The Facebook video of Bubune’s speaking about her son’s passing on ‘The Ladies Circle’ has garnered significant attention, with over 10,000 views and numerous comments expressing grief and solidarity. The video, initially reported on Music, has quickly become a focal point for discussions about grief and resilience.
