Okyeame Kwame sharing a kiss with his wife
Ghanaian hiplife artiste Okyeame Kwame has urged women in relationships to do more to take care of their partners.
According to him, many men go through a lot of mental stress; thus, they need the ‘soft touch’ of a woman to help them handle such pressures.
In an interview on TV3 on Showbiz 360, he explained that men often lack emotional outlets and are unable to even confide even in their parents about the heavy burdens they deal with.
These stresses, he warned, can trigger serious health issues for them.
“For us men, there’s nobody to talk to. You can’t even call your parents to talk about your personal issues. And so for us, either we are imploding by holding on to our stresses, and it’s causing lots of different problems; oxidated blood, insulin level, and many more,” he said.
Okyeame Kwame, who is a staunch advocate of men’s mental health, emphasised that men too crave emotional and physical care at home. Specifically from their partners.
“So, to our girlfriends, when we come to you in the evening, please pamper us. Take off our shoes, rub our feet. Massage our backs. Because we have been in the gutters. We’ve been in the mines. We’ve been on top of the electricity poles. All to make sure that we all eat. We also need support,” he appealed.
