Afua Asantewaa Aduonum has revealed that she paid $750 for an expedited review of her sing-a-thon attempt evidence. In an interview on Joy Prime, she explained that the standard verification process takes up to 12 weeks, prompting her decision to opt for a priority review after two weeks of waiting. The $750 priority review fee ensures a quicker assessment, ranging from 1 to 5 days, in contrast to the standard 12-week process.
Asantewaa shared, “Because of the event’s popularity, they requested our files. After two weeks of waiting, we opted for a priority review. The normal review takes 12 weeks, but for a quick result, you pay an amount, and they review your file within five working days. Officially, it’s $650, but with transaction fees, we paid roughly $750.”
The Sing-a-thon, a remarkable marathon singing endeavor, held the attention of audiences as Asantewaa embarked on her vocal journey from December 24 to December 29, 2023, spanning an impressive 126 hours and 52 minutes. Her melodic odyssey successfully brought Ghanaians together during the festive season, contributing to the popularity of Ghanaian music.
