In a heartwarming gesture, Yaw Darling paid a courtesy call to the Affutuakwa Traditional Council, presenting his TGMA award to the chiefs and seeking their prayers and support.

The chiefs and elders expressed their joy and pride in Yaw Darling's achievement, blessing him and wishing him continued success in his music career. Yaw Darling, in turn, thanked the chiefs and elders for their support and promised to keep making them proud.

Reflecting on his visit, Yaw Darling shared his heartfelt sentiments: "A Heartfelt Homecoming. I'm overwhelmed with joy and gratitude as I reflect on my recent visit to my hometown, Assin Foso. Meeting the king and his esteemed members was an honor, and their warm reception warmed my heart. Their pride in my achievement, particularly the award, humbled me. What touched me most was their appreciation for remembering them and coming home to share my success.
"What's even more remarkable is their decision to support me, acknowledging me as one of their own. Their words of wisdom and encouragement will forever resonate with me. This experience reminds me of the importance of roots and community. I'm grateful for the love and support of my people, and I promise to continue making them proud. Proud to be from Assin Foso. Thank you to the king and my people for their love and support. I'm humbled and motivated to keep pushing boundaries."
