Gospel musician Edward Akwasi Boateng has revealed plans to officially dissolve his marriage amid the ongoing legal battle between the widows of the late Daddy Lumba.
In an interview with Kumasi-based Hello FM, Boateng explained that he intends to visit the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) to begin the divorce process. According to him, he fears that his estranged wife might one day falsely claim to be his legal spouse after his death—a situation similar to what is currently unfolding in Daddy Lumba’s widowhood dispute.
“Looking at what is going on. I even plan to go to the KMA to break my marriage. It’s scary that after separating from your wife, when you die, she will come and fight with your family that she is the rightful wife. I cannot let that happen. She left me, so I will take the initiative and go to the authorities to properly dissolve the marriage,” he said.
Boateng’s remarks come following his long and public history of financial loss tied to marital breakdown.
In earlier interviews, he revealed that after marriage, he lost a fleet of 17 cars and all his other properties.
According to him, his then-wife encouraged him to spend lavishly, and she eventually divorced him after relocating to the United States.
The gospel singer also said that the breakdown of his marriage left him struggling, at times unable to provide basic provisions like school fees for his children.
