Ghanaian comedian and actor Akwasi Boadi, popularly known as Akrobeto, has endorsed a controversial position recently expressed by preacher Nicholas Osei, popularly known as Prophet Kumchacha, about women who frequently seek financial support from men they are dating.

Akrobeto made the comments while recounting an experience involving a woman he had recently started seeing. He said the two began communicating after meeting and eventually agreed to enter a relationship despite living in separate cities.

According to the actor, the relationship had barely begun when his new partner approached him for financial assistance.

“She called and said she needed to move from where she currently was. She had saved up some money, but she needed a top-up. I asked how much, and she said GH¢3,000,” he recounted.

Akrobeto said he eventually transferred the money because he considered it part of his responsibility as her partner.

However, he said another request followed soon after she visited him. When he contacted her the next day, she reportedly complained that the amount he had given her was insufficient because she also had a child to cater for.

“She said she wasn’t fine. When I asked what was wrong, she said, ‘Don’t you know I have a child? How would GH¢400 be enough for me?’” he said.

The comedian said the response left him questioning why he was expected to take financial responsibility for a child who was not his.

“In my mind, I was like, why am I responsible for your child? What sort of entitlement is that?” he said.

Although he initially told her he would provide additional money the following day, Akrobeto said he later decided to end communication, blocking and deleting her contact.

He used the incident to argue that financial expectations should not become the foundation of romantic relationships.

“No one has any right to be entitled to my money. I am not a politician. I have no share in the national cake. So no one should demand money from me like they pay their taxes to me. I work hard for my own money,” he said.

Akrobeto subsequently backed Kumchacha’s earlier remarks, making a particularly strong statement about women who allegedly approach relationships primarily for financial gain.

“If you want to go into prostitution, announce it so we are all aware and know what to expect. Don’t wait for a man to show interest in you and then start demanding money from him. Kumchacha is right,” he said.

His comments are likely to fuel the ongoing debate over financial expectations in relationships and whether monetary support should be considered an obligation between unmarried partners.
