Ghanaian musician Reggie Zippy has sparked fresh concern after posting a deeply emotional and profanity-laced video online, accusing his former wife, Edith Ward, of subjecting him to prolonged emotional torment following their divorce.
In the video, sighted by MyNewsGh, Reggie opened up about his battle with mental health, revealing that he is currently on daily medication to manage his condition.
“Listen to me, I’m telling you this, yeah. If anything should happen to me, I’m already battling mental health.
“If you think I’m lying, I can show you all my fing medications that I have to take every fing single day just so I can function as a normal human being,” the distraught singer declared.
Fighting back tears and frustration, Reggie alleged that Edith’s actions behind the scenes are worsening his emotional state, despite the end of their marriage.
“You are killing me behind the scenes. What have I done to you? What the f*** have I done to you?” he questioned, visibly shaken.
“Is it my fault that you are so ungrateful? Is it my fault that you didn’t realise you had a good man whom you didn’t treat well?”
The musician, best known for his work as part of the duo Reggie ‘n’ Bollie, suggested that he has been consistently disrespected—even in front of their children.
“Is it my fault that you had me to yourself and disrespected me to my face, to my children—and you continue to do that?” he lamented.
“Is it my fault that you fing divorced me? Am I the only human being, or the only man you’ve ever been with? Fing leave me alone.”
Reggie, whose real name is Reginald Ainooson, also expressed frustration about the stigma he feels as a divorced man trying to move on with his life.
“What more do you want? I can’t live my life just because I’ve been divorced? Is it not men who are accused of pursuing…?” he trailed off before abruptly ending the video.
This is not the first time the artist has taken to social media to speak out about the breakdown of his marriage.
However, this latest outburst signals a more serious decline in his mental health, raising alarm bells among fans and industry colleagues.
