On her 21st birthday, Yaa Baby's friends decided to honour her short-lived life by reliving their old moments and expressing the pain of their loss.
Her best friend, Richlove, posted a video of Yaa Baby from last year as the deceased danced and teased her friends on her birthday.
"My sister was in a hurry to see heaven, so she couldn’t wait to get 21 years on earth, but we will celebrate it in heaven. Happy heavenly birthday to the one friend who was always by my side. You taught me so much. You were always there, no questions asked. We had the best conversations."
"I always felt heard and seen around you. You were such a kind and gentle person and deserved the world. I wish you were still here to celebrate. All I want to do is hug you and remind you I'm always here for you, just like you were for me. I sincerely hope you know how much I care about you and how much I miss you."
Another friend of Yaa Baby, in celebration of her posthumous birthday, wrote,
"Today is our sister's birthday, and she is nowhere to be seen. It's been 1 month since u left, and it's still feeling like yesterday. Happy birthday, my love. I wish you were here with us, we still can't heal from this pain."
