The likes of Davido, Sarkodie and Stonebwoy were also at the event and even performed.

The businessman, who recently made headlines for acquiring a private jet and a Bugatti Chiron, ensured his birthday matched his high-profile lifestyle.

Guests at the event included Ghanaian business moguls Ibrahim Mahama, Osei Kwame Despite, and Ofori Sarpong. Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, also attended.

Nigerian stars Rita Dominic, Richard Mofe-Damijo, and Toke Makinwa made appearances, while Ghanaian musicians Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, and KiDi performed.

After the party, reports emerged that the Financial Intelligence Centre had allegedly placed a hold on accounts linked to Quaye’s Bills Micro-Credit, Quick Credit, and Investment Micro-Credit.

There were claims that the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) was conducting a personal income tax assessment on Quaye, though the amount involved was not disclosed.

Citi Business News also reported that one of Quaye’s vehicles had previously been subject to an import duty, but the matter was resolved.
