Speaking on Starr FM’s Starr Chat show on Wednesday, June 9, 2020, Kwabena Kwabena disclosed that he has still not been compensated for the popular campaign song—Vote number 1.
“The song wasn’t sponsored nor paid for by anyone from the party, I did it out of the love for Nana Akufo-Addo who was the flagbearer.
“Though I wasn’t expecting anything, even God who created his word always needs us to show gratitude, that’s why he excepts us to worship him all the time, “ he told Nana Aba Anamoah on Starr Chat.
