She gained fame for her flamboyant lifestyle, fashion choices and showering Jaliba Kuyateh with expensive gifts. Sophie Jobarteh is now serving time in a British prison.
The famous drianke was recently sentenced to a 12-month prison term for her involvement in a sham marriage. She assisted a Guinea-Bissauan man to consummate a ‘fake’ marriage with a Gambian at the Cardiff Register Office in Wales.
Many Gambians in the UK are now poring over details of Sophie’s life, wondering how she was lured into a life of crime.
Our source revealed: “She is married with kids, and has a job. This should serve as a deterrent for our sisters and brothers not to take part in illegal activities.”
Sophie is a huge fan of Jaliba Kuyateh. When the King of Kora visited Bristol last year, she allegedly hired a special limousine for him.
“Jaliba sang about her. All that glitters is not gold,” said our source.
Her husband, also a Gambian, is currently taking care of their children while she serves her one-year jail term.
