Following that victory, Ahye’s personal life was placed in the spotlight after the Trinidad Guardian displayed photos from Ahye’s private social media accounts with Ahye and a female friend, with the sprinter claiming there was a smear campaign against her.

Ahye’s only response to that was a tweet which stated: “Do something good for the country…and they still find a way to be negative…smh Trinidadians”.
