Tracey Boakye, Kwaku Danso and Yahaya Mohammed: The family journey
Kwaku Danso is Tracey’s first child with former Ghanaian footballer Yahaya Mohammed.
According to Transfermarkt, Danso’s dad starred locally for clubs such as Asante Kotoko, Aduana Stars and Amidaus Professionals.
The two were once in a relationship that seemed to be heading toward marriage.
However, things took a different turn when Yahaya reportedly wanted Tracey to terminate the pregnancy upon the footballer’s return from a national team assignment with the Black Galaxies at the 2014 CHAN competition.

Tracey, who recently opened a plush restuarant in Trassaco, refused, which eventually led to their split.
Life has since moved on. Tracey married her sweetheart, Frank Badu Ntiamoah, in 2022, and the couple now has two children together in addition to Kwaku.
Yahaya, affectionately called Momoo, on the other hand, has stepped away from playing football and is now focused on coaching, per KickGH.
While he remains in the limelight, little is known about his personal life today.
Despite the twists and turns of the past, Tracey’s joy on her son’s 11th birthday was clear for all to see.
