Akosua Agyapong was like a sister to me, I never wanted to marry her - Rex Omar

Veteran highlife musician, Rex Omar, has said that contrary to the rumours, he was not in an amorous relationship with fellow musician, Akosua Agyapong.

Mr. Omar also said that he never thought of marrying her.

Rex Omar further explained that he was already married before he teamed up with Amandzeba, Nat Brew and Akosua Agyapong to form NAKOREX.

He continued that he joined because the three were under one record label and all of them having successful solo careers at the time.

But responding to a question about his relationship with Akosua Agyapong on Class91.3FM on Thursday, 31 May 2018, Rex Omar gave details on why he didn’t want to marry Akosua Agyapong.

“No! I didn’t want to marry Akosua Agyapong. Akosua is more or less like my sister and even before NAKOREX, I was already engaged with Abiba,” he said.

“I married very early, so, before we came together as NAKOREX, Abiba was there, so, there was no way and since then, the three of us are still friends, even on Wednesday May 30, I was with Amandzeba Nat Brew the whole day, Amandzeba has been like my senior brother,” he continued.

Rex Omar said he has four children, three girls and one boy, “with Abiba my wife”. According to him, he is very principled and very much attached to music, hence not distracted by women.

“I think, perhaps, I’m too much married to my music, so, it took my attention from women,” Rex Omar, whose ‘Abiba’ song became a hit noted.

Rex Omar is an award-winning singer, songwriter and arranger. He is currently chairman of the Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO) and a member of the Joint Committee of Collective Management Organisations (JCCMOs).
