‘I paid $750 for a premium review of my singathon’ – Afua Asantewaa reveals

Journalist Afua Asantewaa Aduonum, who attempted a sing-a-thon in December 2023, has revealed that she and her management have paid for a sing-a-thon priority review.

Afua disclosed in an interview with Joy Prime, a station based in Accra, that the verification process typically takes up to 12 weeks, which is why she decided to expedite it after waiting for two weeks. She claims that the $750 priority review will be completed in a matter of 1-4 days, whereas the standard review takes 12 weeks.

“Because of the popularity of the event they requested for our files. After two weeks of waiting, we requested a priority review. The normal review takes not less or more than 12 weeks. But if you want it quick you pay an amount of money and they review your file within five working days.

So that’s what we paid for. Officially, it’s $650 but when you are going to pay, you’ll need to pay some transaction fee so we did roughly $750,” she said.

On December 24, 2023, Asantewaa began her vocal journey with the Sing-a-thon, a marathon singing endeavour that captivated audiences. After an incredible 126 hours and 52 minutes, the musical odyssey came to an end on December 29.

During the holiday season, Afua Asantewaa’s sing-a-thon brought Ghanaians together by popularising Ghanaian music.
