Ghanaian music icon Belinda Nana Ekua Amoah, popularly known as Mzbel, has addressed rumors about the paternity of her son, Aaron Adepa Amoah.
The controversy began earlier in the year with claims suggesting that the late musician Castro, who mysteriously disappeared in 2014, was the father of her child.
However, Mzbel has firmly denied these allegations.
In an interview with Max TV, the ‘16 Years’ hitmaker clarified that she last saw Castro in 2013 when they collaborated with other Ghanaian musicians to record a tribute song for the late Ronnie Coaches, a member of the legendary group Buk Bak, who passed away from a heart attack.
Mzbel emphasized that she gave birth to her son years after her friendship with Castro and other musicians from her era had ended.
“The last time I saw Castro was when Ronnie Coaches died, and we got together to record a tribute song. I never saw him again. I gave birth to Adepa six years after my friendship with Castro and other colleagues ended. Castro was alive when Adepa was born,” she stated.
Mzbel expressed confusion over why public figures on social media and others would assume Castro was her son’s father.
She also questioned the public’s obsession with her personal life, stating, “Why is it by force that they want to know the father of my child, all the people I know who put their relationships out on social media, it never went well for them.”
The veteran musician stressed that her relationship with her son’s biological father is a private matter and does not concern the public.
She revealed that her son, Aaron Adepa Amoah, popularly known as Komfo Black, knows his father and maintains a good relationship with him.
However, she has no intention of publicly disclosing his identity.
