Salma Mumin has narrated her grass to grace story.

According to her, there was a period in her life where her only source of income was acquired through the sale of ice water and small chops.

The actress revealed this in an interview with Abeiku Santana on the Atuu TV show as she went further to explain that she has always had to struggle her way to the top because she was a product of a broken home.

She said this in defence against the critics who have been bashing her lifestyle. 

“I was very young when my parents divorced and my mother singlehandedly took care of us. We went through a lot just to survive."

"At a point in time, there was no interest and nobody to take care of me. My mother was a house help living with her employers in Bolgatanga and because there was nowhere to stay, I had to live with her until I came down to Accra."

"Her madam was a caterer so I was given small chops to sell in school every day. Also, when I return from school each day, I sell pure water on the streets just to make some little money,” she narrated.

It’s wrong to call Salma Mumin an ‘Ashawo’ - Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo

Socrate Sarfo had earlier said that the world will keep calling Salma Mumin a prostitute unless she stops exposing her body in photo shoots.

This he said after Salma Mumin had warned the media to stop calling her a prostitute or associating her with the prostitution business.

“You’re a beautiful lady and there are a lot of decent young men out there who are after you. They see your nice beautiful curves and how beautiful you look and how industrious you are... but if you involve yourself with those things like the watermelon pictures and showing your naked buttocks, those private things, people feel you’re selling yourself because that’s what the prostitutes now do..."

"That is how the prostitutes advertise themselves," he opined during a panel discussion on Peace FM’s “Entertainment Review’’.

Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo defender her by saying that anyone calling Salma Mumin a prostitute lacks adequate knowledge of the entertainment scene.

The Entertainment analyst vehemently disagreed with the stance of Socrate Sarfo. Salma Mumin is now appealing to the general public to try and understand where she's coming from.
