Veteran Gospel musician, Edward Akwasi Boateng, has disclosed that his ex-wife, Genevieve, has filed for divorce and is seeking custody of their children, as well as half of his Kumasi house.
The estrangement between the couple has reportedly lasted about five years. Together, they have four children.
According to a video shared on the Gospel singer’s YouTube Channel, Genevieve has served Edward with a court order demanding 50% ownership of the house he acquired.
Edward explained that this development came after he went to the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) to formalise their divorce.

He noted that he drew inspiration from the ongoing family dispute involving the late music legend Daddy Lumba.
According to Edward, Genevieve returned the bride price, which had been given to her family during their wedding as a customary rite. However, she believes she is entitled to 50% ownership of the Kumasi house of the Gospel musician, claiming that they built it together while married.
Court documents referenced in Edward’s YouTube video indicate that Genevieve claims he received a loan during their marriage with her assistance and has allegedly refused to repay it. She asserts that because they were married and jointly contributed, she is entitled to half of the property.
Edward, however, has denied all accusations. He stated that he personally financed and constructed the house, attributing his ability to his successful music career, particularly his hit song “Ade Mepe,” and also help from well-meaning Ghanaians such as Afia Schwarzenegger, Tracey Boakye, Pastor El Bernard, making others.
“As for this house, she wasn’t with me at the time I built it. This house is for Ghanaians, they’re the ones who helped me build it,” he said.
He further pointed to some support he provided to his ex-wife during their marriage, including taking Genevieve abroad, buying her a car, and helping her obtain a UK passport.
The veteran Gospel singer noted that Christians often face trials, but he remains confident in God’s guidance. “I’ve not wronged my ex-wife in any way. The Bible says trials and tribulations always come in the way of believers,” he stated.
Edward also expressed gratitude to his fans and the Ghanaian public for supporting him throughout his journey, recalling when he sold his music on flash drives in markets to survive.
