- Gospel singer Edward Akwasi Boateng plans to officially dissolve his marriage.
- His decision stems from witnessing the public court dispute between Daddy Lumba’s widows.
- He fears that if he dies without formal divorce proceedings, his estranged wife might claim to be his legal spouse.
- Boateng intends to file for divorce at the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA).
- He previously revealed losing 17 vehicles and properties during his marriage.
- His former wife reportedly encouraged extravagant spending before relocating abroad and leaving him struggling financially.
Edward Akwasi Boateng, the veteran Ghanaian gospel singer once celebrated for his soulful music and calm demeanor, has decided to take a bold personal step—ending his long-standing but broken marriage.
His choice, he explained, was inspired not by a fresh conflict at home but by what he’s been watching from afar: the legal storm surrounding the widows of the late music legend Daddy Lumba. To Boateng, that situation paints a worrying picture of what can happen when a separation is never legally finalized.
He now plans to visit the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) to officially end his union—a move he believes will prevent future confusion over his marital status if he passes away. In his words, it’s better to end things properly than to have people fight over titles and entitlements later.
Boateng’s personal history makes his caution understandable. Years ago, he lost almost everything—17 vehicles and multiple properties—after his marriage crumbled.
He once admitted that during the relationship, his then-wife had encouraged an extravagant lifestyle that drained his finances.
When the marriage collapsed and she moved abroad, he was left picking up the pieces, struggling even to provide for his children’s education.
Now older and more reflective, the gospel singer says this final act of legal closure is his way of regaining control over his story. For him, peace is not just about singing hymns—it’s about tying up the loose ends that life leaves behind.
