“You can't come to a funeral with such uncouth behaviour. My elderly sister who is my father's daughter was picking money sprayed on me and this man had the guts to squeeze her hands just to take the money from her. How dare you abuse my sister right under my watch. It wasn't because of the money," Afia said. She continued, "that slap was just the tip of the iceberg. If it wasn't for Diamond Appiah whom I have much respect for, I would have landed three dirty slaps on his face. All those who took to social media to spew nonsense, tell them that I have just not met them physically. Don't play with me because my left hand is very fast. Let this be an example to you all... that lady he abused is over 50 years old". But according to Kwesi, he was part of the band playing at the funeral and has been helping in collecting the money that flooded funeral grounds.

“I have friends in the military band I usually play with and they called me to come and help them. They sprayed the money on the dancefloor to an extent the place became filled with money. I was part of the band members who were collecting the monies from Saturday morning till even after her father was buried," he recounted."So, I went on stage to collect the monies again and I saw the lady standing there with her hands filled with money. So I asked if she was picking the money for us and immediately I raised my head I felt a slap on my face. It’s not the first time I was picking money for them. It’s my third time on that particular Sunday,” he stated. As to why he was picking monies from the funeral grounds, Kwesi Hankson said it is a norm that all monies sprayed while the band plays at occasions usually belong to them. “All monies sprayed on the floor while the band is playing during funerals usually belong to the band. If you hire kete dancers, it belongs to them. That’s how it’s done,” he said in the video below that got him weeping at some point.
