Journalist, event planner, and businesswoman Afua isn't afraid to mention that, prior to the singing marathon known as Sing-A-Thon, which took place at the Akwaaba Village Airport in Accra on December 24-29, 2023, she was already a household name.
Afua Asantewaa gave an explanation of herself in a Monday, February 26 interview with Graphic Showbiz, stating that she was well-known before to starting her Sing-A-Thon endeavor. Therefore, it is completely false to imply that she did it to gain popularity.
To begin with, I didn't participate in Sing-A-Thon for fame because I already had it. I frequently interact with celebrities, and everyone who came into Akwaaba Village during my singing marathon was someone I knew well.
Since I work as a journalist, I have spoken with practically all of the celebrities, musicians, and actresses that visited Akwaaba Village to express their love for me; it wasn't like I was meeting them for the first time.
"I was famous in my own way, though I won't discount the fact that Sing-A-Thon helped a lot more people know about me," she said.
She said that even though she was unable to break the record and set a new one, she was happy that her Sing-A-Thon endeavor helped promote Ghanaian tunes.
In the end, because this was a global phenomenon, I was able to popularize Ghanaian tunes all around the world. After my Sing-A-Thon, so many people outside of this country began to listen to our songs, and it is a plus for the country, in fact, for all of us," she continued.
