Ghanaian highlife singer, Kwabena Kwabena has confessed that he “played some roles I didn’t have to” in his two failed marriages.
According to him, he realized this upon a careful “postmortem.”
“I should have looked within myself very well and made decisions that would help me in the future. I didn’t do that,” the Highlife star added, but without details.
Kwabena Kwabena said he had made some introspection and recognized “my shortcomings”. “I noticed I had to make corrections,” he admitted.
He emphasized that self-introspection was better than blaming one’s partner because “it takes two” to make a relationship work. He stated that he still believed “marriage is good”.
“But if you don’t get the right person, it’ll be a curse to you. If I’m able to work on myself, I’ll attract the best.”

Reflecting on his past, Kwabena Kwabena shared that while he has experienced love, he has also faced heartbreak.

For someone who has written songs that have become soundtracks to weddings and love stories, this admission shows just how relatable love’s ups and downs can be, even for someone in the spotlight.
The musician emphasized the importance of finding the right partner, stating that finding a life partner is no easy feat. “Finding a wife is not an easy task,” he remarked, highlighting the complexities of relationships.
The ‘Adult Music’ singer’s honesty about his struggles reminds fans that behind the fame and hit songs is someone navigating the same emotional highs and lows as everyone else.
Despite his heartbreaks, the award-winning crooner isn’t jaded. While he’s not actively searching for love now, he remains hopeful that true love will come his way when the time is right.
For now, he’s focusing on his music and enjoying life one day at a time.
Kwabena Kwabena Comments on Perception Artists Have of Events Abroad

Ghanaian artist, Kwabena Kwabena, known in private life as George Kwabena Adu, commented on the perception new Ghanaian artists have of events abroad.
Recently, a Ghanaian event promoter in Germany in an interview complained about the high charges some Ghanaian artists demand when contacted for events abroad.
After urging the artists to be considerate when charging, Ofori One added that if these artists wouldn’t agree to take €2000 or other amounts that would benefit both parties, then they should organize their events.
Commenting on this, Kwabena Kwabena stated that the new crop of artists in Ghana are living in space or have the wrong mindset about events abroad which must be corrected.
He claimed event organizers abroad do not struggle when they contact old artists like himself. According to him, the old artists know what goes into events abroad so they do not stress the organizers.
Kwabena Kwabena said event organizers abroad do not make much money because the people who are 90 percent Ghanaian audience won’t pay 50 dollars or euros to attend. He averred some would even want to pay 10 dollars or 15 euros.
Looking at the challenges at hand, Kwabena advised new artists to change the perception they have about events abroad.
He added that it’s different if an artiste is signed onto a label and the label is putting him/her on an event abroad.

Moreover, Kwabena Kwabena shared a painful memory from his 2007 European tour, recalling how he and fellow musicians Screwfaze and Reggie Zippy were arrested in Germany under troubling circumstances.
He described the experience as humiliating and racially motivated.
The incident occurred while they were driving from Amsterdam to Italy. Kwabena Kwabena recounted how immigration officers followed their car for over an hour before pulling them over.
Despite presenting all the necessary documents, the officers detained them and took them to a station, where they were held for three days. The musician strongly believes their arrest was a clear case of racial profiling.
Their situation only began to improve after a white human rights lawyer stepped in, challenging the officers’ actions in court.
Although the court ordered their release, the officers refused to return their passports, insisting on escalating the matter to a higher court.
Reflecting on the ordeal, Kwabena Kwabena expressed his frustration with the unjust treatment, calling it a harsh reminder of the discrimination faced by African artists touring Europe.
His story shines a light on the challenges of racial prejudice and the need to address such injustices.
