At 25, Ghana’s songbird Gyakie has built a remarkable name for herself on stage, but when it comes to love, her story takes a different turn.
Despite the admiration she receives, the singer admits she is still very single—and it is by choice.
Gyakie described today’s dating scene as confusing and filled with half-hearted advances and undefined relationships, which she finds deeply unappealing.
“Guys are not scared of coming close, but I am not seeing the right one yet. People have made advances, obviously, in the industry and across… they are not coming correct the way I want them. Someone will try to speak or make advances, but you know they are not trying to stay committed. Too many situationships in the world.”

Gyakie explained that she is not willing to settle for less, stressing that she wants a serious and intentional partner who is ready to define the relationship from the onset.
For her, dating is not just about fun or spoiling each other, but about stability and building with purpose.
She admitted her biggest fear is ending up in a one-sided relationship where she sees things as serious, but the other person views it as “just vibes.”
That fear, coupled with her resolve not to waste time, has made her cautious about who she lets into her life.
Revealing another key non-negotiable, the Songbird said no man has yet taken things far enough to involve her family—something she considers essential in any genuine relationship.
Until that happens, she chooses to remain focused on her career and personal growth rather than risk regret.
Gyakie’s openness about her experiences with love and situationships is not just a celebrity soundbite—it’s a reflection of a broader societal pattern that deserves examination.
In a world that often confuses attention with affection and intimacy with attachment, one must learn to navigate relationships with more honesty and purpose.
It’s time to move beyond the comfort zone of ambiguity and start building connections that are not only romantic but also rooted in respect, clarity, and mutual growth.
Gyakie Shares Father’s Pain Over Daddy Lumba’s Death
The popular Ghanaian singer opened up about how her father, highlife legend Nana Acheampong, is coping with the passing of his longtime friend and collaborator, Daddy Lumba.
The “Something” hitmaker said the news has weighed heavily on her father. “My dad is still trying to process the whole thing (Daddy Lumba’s passing), it’s really been heavy for him because this is somebody he’s been with his entire career,” she shared.
According to Gyakie, she had been in contact with her father before, during, and after the sad news broke, and she could tell that the death of Daddy Lumba had taken a great toll on him.
Nana Acheampong and Daddy Lumba’s friendship and musical partnership date back to the late 1980s when they both lived in Germany. Together, they formed the famous Lumba Brothers and, in 1989, released their debut album, ‘Yɛɛyɛ Aka Akwantuo Mu’.
The project is credited with popularizing Burger Highlife, a style that blended traditional Ghanaian highlife with Western influences.
Though the two later pursued solo careers, they remained towering figures in the Ghanaian music scene. Daddy Lumba, born Charles Kwadwo Fosu, went on to release numerous hit songs, including ‘Aben Wo Ha’, ‘Theresa’, and ‘Mpempem Do Me’, building a legacy as one of the country’s most celebrated musicians.
Nana Acheampong, known by fans as the “Champion Lover Boy,” also carved out a successful career with memorable songs like ‘Naanka Ebɛyɛ Dɛn’, ‘Abu Aka Mesim’, and ‘Casanova’.
Daddy Lumba passed away on July 26, 2025, an event that has left fans, industry players, and fellow musicians mourning the loss of a legend. For Nana Acheampong, however, the pain runs deeper, given the years of history and partnership he shared with the late musician.
