Akosua Agyapong Rejects Marriage Questions, Criticizes Journalists Over Personal Life

Veteran Ghanaian highlife musician Akosua Agyapong has explained why she refuses to answer questions about her marriage and personal relationships during interviews, insisting that her private life should remain separate from her music career.

Speaking in an interview with JoyPrime TV, the celebrated musician said she is frequently questioned about her relationship with fellow musician Nat Brew, popularly known as Amandzeba, but believes such issues are nobody’s concern.

According to Akosua Agyapong, she is under no obligation to discuss her personal life with the public and will only respond to questions related to her music and career.

“Nat (Amandzeba)? That should not concern anyone. It’s not part of my music. Nowhere in my music career have I indicated that I’m going to talk about my relationship or marriage because that is my personal life. When it has something to do with music, I am ready to answer,” she said.

The veteran singer stressed that she has children whose well-being comes first and does not want to make comments that could negatively affect them in the future.

She urged interviewers and media personalities to stay away from questions about her private life, explaining that celebrities can sometimes be pushed into making statements they later regret.

“Stay away from my private life because I have children. I will not come and sit here and say things that could hurt my kids. Some presenters throw questions at you, and if you’re not smart, you start answering things you may later regret. I came here because of my music, so ask me about my music career,” she stated.

Akosua Agyapong also took a swipe at some journalists and media personalities who constantly probe celebrities about their marriages and relationships. She suggested that some of these interviewers may themselves be facing challenges in their own relationships.

According to her, rather than focusing on their personal issues, some presenters appear more interested in uncovering details about the private lives of public figures.

“If you look at some of the presenters asking these questions, if you go behind the scenes, what they are going through in their own relationships may be very bad, yet they want to find out about somebody else’s,” she added.

The highlife icon maintained that while she is always willing to discuss her music, performances, and career, her marriage and family life are personal matters that should be respected.
