Despite facing criticism from many Ghanaians, Afua successfully completed her five-day singing marathon in Kumasi.

Some people on social media accused her of being motivated by greed and a desire for attention.

Others suggested she should step back and allow the country to focus on more important issues.

Afua recently opened up about her second attempt and revealed some troubling details about her first attempt in Accra.

In a viral video, she shared how she discovered some people had plotted against her, even going so far as to try and drug her.

"The first attempt, I really suffered. Everyone wanted to show they had ideas, telling me to do things this way and that way. But in the end, when I didn’t get the result I expected, they said I was the only failure in the story," she recalled.

She then added, "In 2025, I’ll tell you everything. When they planned to give me a drug so I would collapse and they could put me in an ambulance... I’ll tell you everything. The first one, it was God. The second one too, it was God."

Afua became emotional as she expressed her disbelief over why anyone would want to hurt her for attempting to achieve a recognition that offers no financial reward. This was especially difficult after she had been accused of greed and exploitation for her efforts.

“For a recognition that doesn’t have money, for a recognition that I’ve been tagged greedy and insulted, why would you even want to destroy me over it?” she asked.

Afua said although she would like to go into detail about the plot against her, she had been advised to remain silent for now.

"People say if I talk, it will affect a lot of brands and a lot of people, so I should keep quiet," she explained.

Looking back on her experience and the smaller crowd at her second attempt, Afua mentioned that she actually enjoyed the more personal atmosphere.

"This time around, I really had time to assess myself. It was so intimate, and I loved it," she emphasised.
