Buzz builds around Asare's thanksgiving party

That attention had already been building online before Adams weighed in, with social media personalities hinting that there was more to the event than met the eye.

"Plenty things happened at Asare's thanksgiving party. Wow."

Angel FM broadcaster, Don Summer, added simply: "Herrrrrrr, listo."

Although he did not mention Asare by name, Saddick Adams appeared to reference the same event in a post questioning its essence.

He wrote:

"'World Cup Thanksgiving Service' two months after World Cup with models and glamour girls. What is that one too?"

"It's obvious he didn't spend a dime on that programme. D Black is simply leveraging his popularity and influence to help revive his club. You guys should relax with the slander."

sizzlergh said:

"A very {expletive} decision! Where are his advisors? Vozinha at 40 is still looking to do better and got a good offer after the World Cup because many people are showing him love with rich things. It seems he doesn't care and he's comfortable, but I don't blame him. He's already heading into retirement, so it looks good to blow money away."

AlfredEshu46777 commented:

"No sense dey inside. Instead of him investing, he dey spend, then years later he go come complain and start dey seek help."

King_Kwes14 indicated:

"It is called getting appearance fees to host a party at a lounge. It is common with musicians, let Asare make some extra money small."

Asare's thanksgiving party has also sparked rumours linking Asare to actress Sylvia Davis, after a video showed the pair deep in conversation at the event.

The clip quickly spread across social media, with many speculating about a possible romance between them.
