Gisela Amponsah draws attention in Lagos during Spotify Surround Sound with Runtown

Ghanaian influencer and content creator Gisela Amponsah has attracted attention in Lagos after appearing at Spotify’s exclusive Surround Sound experience connected to Nigerian singer Runtown’s music milestone. The Ghanaian digital personality became part of a social-media conversation after videos from the event began circulating online.

Gisela was spotted in Lagos on Saturday, September 26, at the private Spotify event organised around Runtown and the anniversary of his widely known song “Mad Over You”. The gathering brought together entertainment personalities and guests in an intimate setting focused on music and culture.

According to reports, Gisela featured in a fan moment with Runtown that quickly gained traction on social media. The interaction attracted attention because of the relaxed atmosphere of the event and Gisela’s growing visibility among Ghanaian and Nigerian digital audiences.

Spotify’s Surround Sound concept has provided a platform for artists to connect with selected audiences through experiences built around music. Such events often extend beyond conventional concerts by creating smaller settings where artists, creators and fans can interact directly.

For Gisela Amponsah, the Lagos appearance is another example of how Ghanaian influencers increasingly participate in entertainment activities outside Ghana. Social-media personalities can now build audiences across borders, particularly when their content connects with fashion, lifestyle, music and celebrity culture.

The Ghana-Nigeria entertainment relationship also makes Lagos a significant destination for Ghanaian creatives. Nigerian music, film and digital culture have strong influence across Ghana, while Ghanaian musicians and online personalities regularly collaborate with or appear alongside Nigerian entertainers.

Gisela’s appearance at the Spotify event reflects that cross-border connection. Her participation was not presented as a formal musical performance, but the visibility generated by the event illustrates how influencers can become part of major entertainment conversations through networking and social-media moments.

The incident also demonstrates the speed at which celebrity and influencer content can spread online. A short video from an event can attract attention far beyond the original audience, particularly when it features recognisable personalities or a notable music occasion.

For brands and music platforms, influencers can play an important role in extending the reach of events. Their followers can discover an artist, song or experience through social posts that feel different from conventional advertising.

Runtown’s “Mad Over You” remains one of the songs associated with the Nigerian singer’s international profile. A decade after its release, the anniversary provides an opportunity to revisit the record and celebrate its impact among listeners.

Gisela’s presence at the Lagos event therefore sits at the intersection of Ghanaian influencer culture, Nigerian music and Spotify’s global entertainment ecosystem. The social-media reaction shows the level of interest that cross-border celebrity interactions can generate.

As Ghanaian creators continue to build regional and international audiences, appearances such as this are likely to become increasingly common. Lagos remains a major entertainment hub, and Ghanaian personalities can use such opportunities to strengthen relationships with artists, brands and audiences across West Africa.
