In a video shared by blogger Smart Ghana TV, the late TikToker's close friend Richlove and two other ladies wore white T-shirts with the deceased's funeral poster as they paid a visit to the cemetery.
Two of the ladies held a birthday cake inside a box and a bottle of champagne as they arrived at the burial site to mark her milestone in her absence.
Richlove unboxed the cake and detailed how she and the late Yaa Baby had previously planned to celebrate the birthday before her unfortunate demise.
She also shared fond memories of the late TikToker as she lit a candle on the cake and paid tribute to the deceased, whom she described as a sister.
Richlove and her associate cut the cake and later called on Yaa Baby's spirit for protection from any harm that might come upon their lives.
She later dumped pieces of the cake and the champagne on the late Yaa Baby's burial site before leaving with her associate to interact with a blogger, who filmed their entire visit to the cemetery.
Richlove's visit to her late best friend's burial site comes weeks after she and others shared birthday tributes to the deceased on July 8, 2025.
