Kwabena Kwabena: I`m a victim of a bad marriage…but I haven't given up on LOVE

One of the country's contemporary and prolific singer, who is very charming and smooth when it comes to highlife songs, Kwabena Kwabena, would have been out of the music industry if he had not come out of a bad marriage, which he experienced whiles he was engaged.

The artist, who hardly makes sensational news in the media but for his marriage, had difficulty mentioning it to the public during the period his marriage was on the rocks.

At long last, the ace musician, after several months of keeping tight-lipped over his marriage controversy has finally found his voice to articulate on the issue.

According to him, he believes marriage is an act of covenant which God created for a man and a woman to be happy in, and also be blessed in life, adding “I have witnessed the bad side of such a beauty which the almighty created, but I am not giving up on LOVE. I still believe in God to find my next new LOVE”.

The short period between his marriage and its breakdown has been “the most difficult period in my life”. He just could not believe how Esther could discuss such issues with the media, saying “I blame Esther for the break-up of the marriage”.

The high life artist further noted that Esther often worked herself into frenzy over these tales. “When she could not bear the pain she was persistently inflicting on herself, she carried the tales which she interpreted as bad treatment to members of her family”, Kwabena Kwabena said.

He said that was the immediate cause of the separation when the church granted them divorce. “Since then I have regained my peace and I'm concentrating on writing new songs and producing them.”

Kwabena Kwabena said he was ready with his third album 'Bibini', which he said would be released sometime this week. The album carries a total of 10 songs, he said, some of which are 'My Baby', 'Abotre', 'Meretwewo', 'Obiniyam', 'Dadie Anoma' and 'Bibini'.

It would be recalled that in July, Kwabena Kwabena's marriage was said to have been under threat following claims he had impregnated another woman. This revelation, according to 'Show Ghana' was made by the musician's sister in law, Cindy, when she was interviewed on Accra's Radio Gold. She claimed that the musician had left his marital home and was no longer wearing his wedding band.

However on month of July 14, the Weekly Fylla newspaper reported that the musician had impregnated a woman before his highly publicised marriage and had denied the allegation but was later present at the “denied” baby's naming ceremony to name the child after his mother.

He was said to have left his marital home and had moved in with another woman who was also pregnant and about to be engaged to the star.
