A proud Ashanti woman couldn’t hold back her excitement after spotting the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II’s sleek black Hongqi H9 vehicle, an ultra-luxury car that turned heads and stirred emotions in equal measure.
Captured in a now-viral video, the woman stood beside the plush ride, passionately praising the Asantehene and boldly declaring that no other traditional ruler in Ghana could match his class.
“Which chief in Ghana can own this car? No one in Ghana can afford it,” she exclaimed, her voice filled with admiration and pride.
The Hongqi H9, reportedly worth over GH¢701,000, is a flagship model from China’s FAW Group and one of the latest additions to Otumfuo’s impressive fleet.
The vehicle was first seen publicly when the Asantehene drove it from the Manhyia Palace to the Prempeh I International Airport during a trip to the UK.
For many Ghanaians, especially those from the Ashanti Region, Otumfuo’s presence is more than ceremonial—it’s symbolic. His taste for elegance and tradition blends seamlessly, and moments like this remind people of the reverence and pride they hold for their king.
The woman’s heartfelt commentary has since gone viral, sparking conversations online about royalty, wealth, and cultural pride. Her reaction wasn’t just about a car—it was about what that car represented: dignity, legacy, and the enduring prestige of the Ashanti Kingdom.
