The troll came from failed politician Diamond Appiah who called Despite a hypocrite for giving things to his family and publishing it in the news.

However, Ameyaw Debrah has rubbished this and said there is nothing wrong if someone makes a donation and decides to publish it in the news.

He explained that the most important thing is that there is a donation and nothing else.

Ameyaw said this in an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh on the issue.

Despite made headlines on his birthday, February 2, 2022, following the donation that went viral.

Diamond Appiah, however, believes giving things to family, friends and even random people should be done privately and not publicly for clout as Despite has done.

Interestingly, her own friend Tracey Boakye has also been criticised for a similar act.
