Kojo Antwi, a musician from Ghana, has drawn criticism over a GoFundMe account set up in his name. Many people have questioned whether the account was set up to pay for his late father’s funeral.A spokesperson for Mr. Kojo Antwi’s team, however, has clarified that the fundraiser is not for the funeral.
Instead, he advised creating The Maestro’s Love and Care Foundation, which would give poor kids scholarships and support for the blind in society.
He added that calls from Kojo Antwi’s loved ones asking for donations for his father’s funeral prompted the move.
The official continued by saying that calls from Antwi’s loved ones asking for donations for his father’s funeral forced the company to make the decision.
In response, Antwi made the decision to set up a GoFundMe account to organize and streamline the process and to take advantage of the chance to help the less fortunate in honor of his late father.
The goal of the GoFundMe campaign, which is listed under the “Funerals & Memorials” category, is to raise £1,000,000, or GH14,741,026.20.
He had raised £500 from two donors, according to the most recent reviews of the account.
In order to make donations through banks, Kojo Antwi additionally includes his bank account information on the page that has been made in his name.Prior to the main funeral, the seasoned performer staged a 40-day observation ceremony in the Tesano Police Mess Forecourt on Saturday, February 11, 2023, for his late father, Opanin Kwadwo Asiamah Tano Asubonten.
