TV Presenter Stacy and husband, Okyeame Quophi
Rap and media star Okyeame Quophi has categorically stated that he has “never ever in my life” hit his wife, TV presenter Stacy Amoateng, firmly debunking rumours of domestic violence in his home.
Speaking to Nana Romeo on Okay FM, he discussed things he would never do, including killing and stealing.
He expressed concern over the growing tendency for some individuals to spread false allegations about others.
“But if you’re a wise person, you don’t rush to respond to such allegations,” he calmly noted.
He advocated for always being “honest with yourself, your good character, and your principles,” especially in the face of damning accusations.
He acknowledged that people will naturally speculate, rightly or wrongly, based on their perspective, but added, “Ultimately, I ask myself if it’s true, and if it’s not, I’m good to go [about my life guilt-free].”
Okyeame Quophi said he had heard the domestic violence rumour “a million times,” which is why he brought it up himself, stressing, “I can never hit my wife.”
According to him, his wife has always had an issue with one of her eyes, in addition to being cross-eyed — a condition he said their son also shares. He explained that it’s common for her problematic eye to become infected occasionally.
“But in our society, if a woman is seen with blood in her eyes, it is swiftly concluded that she has been beaten by her husband. I believe that was the reason behind the rumour. The condition persisted for a while, leading her to wear sunglasses and use a lot of medication,” he explained.
Quophi, one-half of the iconic Hiplife group Akyeame, emphasized that he was raised by a respectable Fante mother and that his deep respect for women would never allow him to abuse any woman, let alone his own wife.
“May God not forgive me if I ever do that. No, I don’t do that,” he concluded.
