Setting the record straight, the lady explained that she is not related to Ghanaian inventor and philanthropist Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantaka in any way. She urged people, particularly vendors, to forgo the notion that she is rich.

This clarification comes after she opened up about an encounter during which a vendor refused to lower the cost of some items she bought after learning that she is called Safo Kantaka.
