She said,

"At my age, I wanted to surprise myself with a house but a situation rather surprised me. A friend of mine scammed me. She has yet to refund my money. You can't trust anyone in Accra with your money."

Asantewaa also added that the situation affected her finances as she had invested all her savings into the building project.

She said,

"I lost everything. I invested all my money into the project at that time, thinking I would move into my new house the next month. I even invited some friends to my house opening event. I hadn't even seen the house at that point. I went broke."

She stated that she could only recover from her financial issues with the help of some of her colleagues on TikTok, who supported her with money and food items.

Asantewaa also expressed her gratitude to God and some of her friends for their support during the difficult period.
