Ghanaian gospel minister, Ohemaa Mercy, has explained reasons for honouring her husband at the launch of the 2023 Tehilah Experience, held at the Movenpick Ambassador Hotel on July 6, 2023.
In an interview, the gospel singer expressed that she honoured her ex-husband for holding down the event for a period of eight years.
She said:
“Yes of course. He deserves it. He was the one holding the event continuously for eight good years. Sometimes I didn’t know how he manoeuvred his way around it until I took up the mantle. He deserves it”.

She added:
“Everybody, all the team members we have worked with, were called upon to come up with their ideas. He coming to the launch to even surprise me that he is ready for this, is a plus. I appreciate that, so I have to honour him”.

Ohemaa Mercy was seen expressing her heartfelt appreciation to her ex-husband, Isaac Twum-Ampofo, for his unwavering support in her Tehillah Experience journey and she remains forever grateful for his contributions.
She expressed her gratitude:
“I want to say a big thank you to my ex-husband Ike for his massive support over the years. This wonderful man has been there for me and keeps supporting Tehillah Experience”.

Showcasing their mutual respect and shared commitment to the success of the Tehillah Experience, Mr Twum Ampofo was visibly moved by Ohemma Mercy’s remarks and acknowledged her appreciation with a wave, and quietly took his seat.
His presence was not the only factor that seemed to have taken the attendees by surprise; his appearance was also an element of surprise as the man known to have maintained a short, faded haircut without a beard had an entirely different look which could make him go unnoticed.
Mr Twum-Ampofo, this time around, had plaited his hair. He had grown his beard and moustache which were neatly trimmed. The man who in the past was not seen in sunglasses, on the day, was spotted in sunglass to complement his look.
He had worn one of the customized t-shirts for the launch and could be seen exchanging pleasantries with guests while smiling from ear to ear.
Ohemaa Mercy and her husband’s silent breakup
In June 2020, there were viral reports that Ohemaa Mercy’s marriage had collapsed.
The ‘Edin Jesus’ hitmaker was reported to have packed her belongings from her matrimonial home two days after her annual Tehilla Experience Concert in August 2019.
Afia Schwarzenegger, one of the individuals who confirmed the news, claimed that Ohemaa Mercy’s husband, Mr Isaac Twum-Ampofo, was alleged to have cheated on her with some of her backup singers.
Afia Schwarzenegger said in a video:
“Ohemaa Mercy left her marital home in August two days after her Tehilla Concert. If only the information is correct then coming August will be exactly one year she left her home. The man has claimed lordship over the house. The children were also not allowed to see her, until recently”.

Meanwhile, Tehilla X is slated for August 13, 2023, at Oil Dome. This year’s edition is themed ‘Fire and Fragrance’. Artistes billed for the show which has grown over the years to be a large gathering of worshipers include Kofi Owusu Peprah, Efe Grace, Ceccy Twum, Uncle Ato, Pastor Joe Beecham, and Diana Hamilton.
