Ghanaian gospel artiste, Evangelist Edward Akwasi Boateng, has opened up about what contributed to the collapse of his marriage.
He traced the turning point in his relationship to a cheating incident that happened two decades ago during an interview with Akoma FM.
The gospel singer explained that although the infidelity occurred during a period of financial comfort, his wife chose to remain with him. At the time, he frequently travelled abroad and the couple welcomed three children.
“My wife didn’t divorce me when I cheated on her during the time I was financially stable. Back then, I used to travel abroad, so she stayed with me and even gave birth to three children. My kids are now 20, 16, and 14 years old,” he disclosed.

According to him, the past was revived only after he suffered major financial setbacks. “But she started complaining about the cheating that happened 20 years ago, at the time when I had lost all my money. She made it look like the cheating happened recently. Because of that, she even left the house and stayed somewhere else for six months until I went to plead with her to come back,” he said.
Akwasi Boateng added that the reconciliation was short-lived. Once his wife gained financial independence, the situation deteriorated again.
“So when she came back, she became financially stable and bought a car and even built a house. That was when things became worse. She said she couldn’t be with me anymore and that even if the Pope begged her, she wouldn’t listen. So we have been divorced for the past six years,” he stated.
“My wife divorced me six years ago. She left as soon as I became financially unstable and began bringing up a mistake I made 20 years ago.”
