Ghanaian socialite and singer, Mona Faiz Montrage, popularly known as Hajia4Reall, has made a dramatic return to social media after serving a one-year and one-day prison sentence in the United States.
Her reappearance on Instagram, where she boasts over 4 million followers, marks a significant moment in her journey from legal turmoil back to the limelight.
Hajia4Reall’s legal troubles began in May 2023 when she was extradited from the United Kingdom to the U.S. on charges related to a $2 million romance scam.
In February 2024, she pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to receive stolen money, agreeing to pay restitution and forfeiture totaling $2,164,758.41 . Her sentence, handed down in June 2024, included a provision for “good time” credit, allowing for a slightly reduced term.
Prior to her sentencing, Hajia4Reall deactivated her social media accounts to focus on her studies. She enrolled in a five-month course in English Composition and Public Speaking at Union College in New York, a move permitted by the court to aid her rehabilitation .
Her Instagram bio during this period read, “Hi Nosy. This account is temporarily unavailable for your viewing,” signaling a deliberate retreat from the public eye.
On May 23, 2025, a day after her release from the Federal Detention Centre in Philadelphia, Hajia4Reall reactivated her Instagram account. While she hasn’t posted new content yet, the mere presence of her profile has reignited interest among fans and followers .
Her return suggests a readiness to reengage with her audience and perhaps share her experiences and lessons learned.
The response to Hajia4Reall’s return has been mixed. Some fans have welcomed her back with open arms, expressing excitement and support. Others remain skeptical, questioning the sincerity of her comeback and the implications of her legal history.
Nonetheless, her reemergence has undeniably stirred conversation and curiosity across social media platforms.
As Hajia4Reall steps back into the public sphere, her next moves will be closely watched. Whether she chooses to address her past directly, focus on her music career, or embark on new ventures, her story serves as a compelling narrative of downfall and potential redemption.
Only time will tell how this chapter unfolds for one of Ghana’s most talked-about personalities.
