Akwaboah has responded to claims that his wife, Theresa Naa Akwaboah, does not adequately care for him. He described their marriage as a fulfilling relationship built on love, understanding and support.
The singer and songwriter, speaking in an exclusive interview with ZionFelix, revealed that he has been married for two years after spending an additional two years dating his wife before they got married.
Akwaboah explained that their four-year journey together has been positive, stressing that his wife contributes greatly to their home. He dismissed claims that he struggles to get proper meals at home, saying such claims are based on assumptions rather than reality.
He added that his wife is an excellent cook and that he is happier now than he was before because things are going well in their marriage.
The musician also addressed how they handle negative comments directed at his wife, revealing that he anticipated such criticism even before they got married.
According to Akwaboah, he prepared Theresa Naa Akwaboah for the possibility that some members of the public would judge her unfairly because of his fame. He said he warned her that some people could develop negative opinions about her despite her not doing anything wrong.
He noted that the couple has refused to allow public criticism to interfere with their relationship. Instead, they often laugh about such comments whenever they come across them.
Akwaboah explained that his wife sometimes shares negative remarks with him, and rather than allowing them to create tension, they treat them lightly. He stressed that such comments have never led to disagreements between them and that they have never considered divorce because of public opinions. He described their relationship as one where they are best friends.
The Ghanaian musician also revisited his controversial advice that young people should be financially prepared by saving at least GH¢8,000 every month before entering marriage.
The comment attracted criticism from some sections of the public, but Akwaboah maintained that many of those who criticised him had not yet experienced the financial responsibilities that come with marriage and raising a family.
He explained that after marriage, people begin to understand the cost of managing a household, including expenses such as food, childcare needs, supporting extended family members and other daily commitments.
Akwaboah said critics were quick to challenge his GH¢8,000 recommendation because they had not considered the realities of family life. He argued that once people get married and start raising children, they would realise that even that amount may not be enough to cover all their monthly obligations.
He further stated that expenses such as diapers, food, helping in-laws and other household responsibilities can push monthly spending far beyond that figure.
