In a video seen by YEN.com.gh, Akwasi Boateng took ownership of the vehicle from the Ghanaian man of God, who heads the Spiritlife Revival Ministries in Accra.

He presented the vehicle to his Christian colleague after church service on Sunday, June 15, 2025.

Prophet ElBernard explained that the gift was to celebrate the veteran singer on his birthday and also on the occasion of Father’s Day.

In February 2024, a video of Akwasi Boateng selling pen drives and compact discs in Kumasi went viral.

He said at the time he was forced to do that because he had become broke and needed to raise money for his children’s school fees.

Akwasi Boateng became a household name in the Ghanaian gospel scene during the 2000s and 2010s, with songs such as M'akoma So Ade, Adee Mepe Nyinaa, and Mebo Wodin becoming nationwide hits.

His fall from grace sparked concerns and led Prophet ElBernard to come to his aid, gifting him a car and a full scholarship for his children’s education.
