Kwabena Kwabena said many African players overseas ultimately face serious issues
Ghanaian musician, Kwabena Kwabena, has warned African footballers playing abroad to be careful when going into relationships, especially with White women.
His comments were made on UTV’s United Showbiz in light of the ongoing rape allegations against Ghanaian midfielder, Thomas Partey.
Speaking during the show, Kwabena Kwabena pointed out a pattern where many promising African players overseas ultimately face serious issues after getting involved with White partners.
“I don’t want to sound racist, but I would advise these young African men going overseas to play football, be cautious of their relationships with White women.
“Most of these African footballers, after they’ve been sent out there, eventually get involved with White ladies and get into one issue or another, be it divorce and their properties get taken, or they get hit with child support. It doesn’t end well for them. So, I advise them to be cautious,” he said.
He advised Ghanaians to take this news as a learning experience, stating, “When you see a man fall, don’t laugh, learn; if not, you might also fall.”
He added that oftentimes, a relationship begins smoothly, but eventually brings “trouble to your life.”
Kwabena also acknowledged that such issues don’t arise out of nowhere, adding that Partey “might have had things going on with her in the past.”
His warning resonates as the Thomas Partey case continues to dominate headlines.
The former Arsenal player has been charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault involving three women, with alleged incidents occurring between 2021 and 2022.
Partey, who denies all charges, is set to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on August 5.
