Early Life and Education
Moesha Boduong entered the world on March 10, 1990, in Kumasi, Ghana, to Retired Major Boduong and the late Mrs. Tina Boduong. As the fourth child in a blended family from the Sisaala tribe in the Upper West Region, she faced early loss when her mother passed away at age 12.
She completed primary school at Nhyiaeso International School and Martyrs of Uganda Basic School, attended Accra Girls’ Senior High for secondary studies, and earned a diploma in Theatre, Music, and Dance from the University of Ghana, Legon.
Career
Boduong launched her acting journey in 2009 with a waitress role in A Sting in a Tale, followed by standout parts like Winnie in Swagger Babes (2012) and Betty in Grey Dawn (2015).
She hosted the Nigerian show Hood Paramount and built a massive social media following as a lifestyle influencer. Through the Moesha Foundation, she supports education initiatives, and post-recovery, she has embraced a faith-centered public identity.
Personal Life
Boduong keeps her romantic life discreet, with no records of marriage or children. She once shared details of dating a married man for financial stability during her CNN appearance but has no confirmed current partner.
Standing at 5 feet 4 inches, her focus has shifted to health recovery, philanthropy, and spiritual pursuits following family tragedies.
Controversies
Boduong sparked national debate with her 2018 CNN interview alongside Christiane Amanpour, where she openly discussed dating a married man for financial support amid Ghana’s economic challenges for women. The remarks drew backlash for promoting infidelity but also praise for highlighting gender inequities.
Her lavish socialite lifestyle and “slay queen” image further fueled public discourse on materialism and morality in entertainment.
Health
In early 2024, Boduong suffered a severe stroke that caused partial paralysis on her right side, affecting her mobility and speech. Her brother launched a GoFundMe campaign raising funds for therapy and medical devices.
By late 2024 and into 2025, she showed gradual improvement, sharing videos of dancing and spiritual activities on social media, marking her ongoing rehabilitation and resilience.
Net Worth
Estimates of Boduong’s wealth have fluctuated, previously pegged at $300,000 to $5 million from acting, endorsements, and influence. Recent 2025 figures suggest a sharp drop to around 10,000 GHS, largely due to 2024 stroke-related medical costs and rehabilitation expenses.
