Veteran Ghanaian musician Mzbel has sparked widespread conversation after making bold and controversial remarks about marriage, love, and traditional gender roles during a recent interview.

In an interview, the “16 Years” hitmaker did not hold back as she shared her personal philosophy on relationships, stating that her lifestyle, independence, and career make conventional marriage unsuitable for her.

Mzbel strongly rejected what she described as traditional expectations placed on women in relationships and marriage, particularly domestic duties.

“I’m not that kind of woman. I refuse to be that kind of woman. A woman’s chores — like waking up in the morning to sweep and clean?” she questioned.

The singer stated clearly that marriage is not part of her life plans, describing it as something she cannot subscribe to. Mzbel went on to describe marriage as a system that places unfair burdens on women.

“That’s why marriage is not for me. I can’t do marriage. I see marriage as a free-slavery in disguise. You bring someone into your life, wash his clothes, feed him, check up on him… marriage is not for me,” she said.

Mzbel also expressed deep skepticism about love and long-term romantic commitment, adding that she prefers independence over being in a controlled or demanding relationship.

“I don’t believe in love. Love is a scam. I am my own boss. I’m the mother and I’m the father. I’m the alpha and omega. No man can dictate to me,” she said.

While rejecting marriage, Mzbel noted that she can still be in relationships, but only under conditions that respect her independence. She also stated that she would end relationships without formal announcements if she feels controlled.

“I can be in a relationship with you, but I will cut you off immediately you start giving instructions,” she explained.

The songstress also explained that she no longer cooks at home, noting that she has a restaurant and can request any meal she wants whenever she likes. She added that her lifestyle allows her full convenience and choice, including custom meals prepared on demand.

“I don’t cook anymore… I have a restaurant, so what is the point? If I want something different from the menu, they will make it for me. Today, I said they should make rice and chicken stew. They are done. I will go and eat,” she added.

Mzbel’s remarks have reignited conversations about modern relationships, gender roles, and personal freedom in Ghanaian society. Her comments have since generated intense debate online, with supporters praising her honesty while others strongly disagree with her views.
