Ghanaian businesswoman Irene Adusei Sarkodie, popularly known as Maame Gold, has set social media ablaze with her now-viral statement, “I have 3 cars and 4 cars,” made during an exclusive interview on *The Delay Show* with media personality Deloris Frimpong Manso, known as Delay, on July 18, 2025. The cryptic remark, which sparked confusion and debate online, was clarified by Maame Gold as she detailed her collection of luxury vehicles and her approach to categorizing cars, shedding light on her success as an entrepreneur.
During the interview, Delay asked Maame Gold about the number of cars she owns, prompting the businesswoman to respond, “When we say cars, we have a car and a car. I have 4 cars, and 3 cars. I mean like luxury cars.” She went on to list her collection, which includes a G Wagon Jeep Rubicon, a Mercedes-Benz 450 E-Class, a pickup truck, and a “very new” Ram Sonata. Additionally, she mentioned owning three non-luxury cars, specifically Sonatas, which she categorized separately. “Cars such as GLE, G Wagon, Bentley, Mercedes among others are cars under a certain kind of category, and I label such as luxurious cars,” she explained, distinguishing them from models like the Hyundai Sonata, Toyota Corolla, or Vitz, which she described as falling into a less prestigious category.
Maame Gold clarified that her statement was not about boasting but about reflecting her hard-earned success. She explained that most of her vehicles serve work purposes, particularly the pickup truck, which is essential for her entrepreneurial ventures, including her beauty salon and clothing line. “The car that I drive most is the pickup. We try our best to do the work. As you can see, the work demands the use of a pickup, so we went and bought the pickup,” she told Delay. She also noted that she previously owned an F150 pickup but no longer does, emphasizing her preference for vehicles that align with her business needs.
When Delay probed about her response to social media criticism, Maame Gold dismissed engaging with detractors, stating, “As a young woman, all I care about and think about is making money. Even in my leisure time, I work so hard on making money.” Her focus on financial success and her refusal to be drawn into online disputes resonated with fans, who praised her work ethic. “Maame Gold is out here grinding while haters are typing. Respect!” one supporter wrote on X.
The interview also touched on Maame Gold’s reputation as a luxury shopper, as reported by YEN.com.gh, where she addressed rumors about selling fake designer items. “I sell high-quality stuff when it comes to bags and all that. I am also a personal shopper. I have clients I shop for when I travel to America and other countries,” she asserted, urging those seeking original Gucci items to visit official stores if they can afford them. Her candid responses and unapologetic demeanor have further cemented her status as a polarizing yet inspiring figure in Ghana’s entertainment and business spheres
Maame Gold’s story highlights the intersection of faith, ambition, and resilience. Her car collection, whether three or four, symbolizes her journey from humble beginnings to a celebrated entrepreneur and gospel artist. As she prepares to release a new single, her fans eagerly await her next move, while the “3 cars and 4 cars” saga continues to spark conversation about success and perception in Ghana.
