Ghanaian music icon, Reggie Rockstone, has opened up about his past relationships, revealing that his first major love story at the peak of his career was with a fashionista and former Deputy CEO of the Ghana Tourism Development Company (GTDC), Akua Blakofe, a relationship he described as “beautiful” and “intense.”
Speaking on The Delay Show, the Hiplife pioneer said that although the relationship did not last long, it was a meaningful and memorable part of his journey.
“My first love story [at the peak of my career] was with Blakofe. I did have a beautiful story with Blakofe. We’re still good friends. Those who knew about us know. We didn’t date for long, but it was very intense,” he said.

Reggie, who is known as the Grandpapa of Hiplife, went on to reflect on his romantic history with notable honesty and humor, admitting that he has had several relationships — most of which were long-term.
“I had a long relationship with someone I cannot mention, but most people know her. They refer to her as my first wife. And then I met my wife. But in between that, I had relationships. I just don’t want to mention their names. Although I have been in many relationships, most of my relationships were long relationships. Each of them was beautiful,” he shared.
The veteran rapper and entrepreneur further recounted how he met his current wife, Dr Zilla Limann, daughter of Ghana’s former president, Dr Hilla Limann.
“After that, I met my wife, Zilla, and we’ve been together for over twenty years. I met my wife at Boomerang, and people had told me there was this girl that I’d really get along with. They included a mutual friend,” Reggie narrated with a smile.
Reggie also offered a glimpse into his personal preferences, describing the kind of women he’s naturally drawn to.
“I like women who are busty, got flesh, bubbly. I’m a bubbly person, so all the women I’ve dated are upbeat. My taste for women with flesh must have been about heavy women around growing up. I was the opposite of my dad; he liked slim women,” he added, laughing.
Now happily married for over two decades, Reggie Rockstone continues to be admired not only for his pioneering influence on Ghanaian music but also for his openness about life, love, and the experiences that have shaped him.
