Afua Asantewaa (L) speaks out after allegedly receiving message from Kubala King
Guinness World Record singathon contender Afua Asantewaa has said she fears for her safety after allegedly receiving a threatening message from King Atehene, the self-proclaimed ruler of the so-called Kubala Kingdom.
In a social media post on November 5, 2025, Afua disclosed that the message came weeks after King Atehene’s eviction from a forest in Scotland, where he had been living with two women he referred to as his wives.
According to her, the message carried a threatening tone and appeared to accuse her of showing disrespect to the self-styled king.
The email, which Afua shared publicly, contained cryptic and intimidating language.
I was invited to be ‘queen mother’ of controversial Kubala kingdom – Afua Asantewaa
“The king stretched his hand of promise towards you about a day which cometh forth yet you have mocked what is meant to be covered until the appointed time. Know therefore that, you may have more questions to answer on that day. Where the word of the king is, there is power. kubala kubala ilizwe,” the Kubala King allegedly wrote to Afua Asantewaa.
Afua Asantewaa said she was unsettled by the message and questioned what she might have done to provoke such hostility.
In her response, she appealed to the self-styled king to stop targeting her and other women, noting that she wanted no part in his affairs.
“I guess my life is in danger. What does he want from me? Kubalaaaa, I’m not that kind of woman. Leave innocent women alone,” she wrote.
This is not the first time Afua Asantewaa has mentioned her contact with the self-proclaimed king.
She previously disclosed that King Atehene had once reached out to her via email, praising her singing career and even inviting her to become a queen mother of his Kubala Kingdom.
King Atehene gained attention earlier in 2025 after declaring himself ruler of the Kubala Kingdom, a territory he claimed to have established inside a Scottish forest.
He lived there with his two wives: Jean Gasho, who called herself Queen Nandi, and Kaura Taylor, who went by Asnat.
The group claimed they were reclaiming land stolen from their ancestors 400 years ago.
