Ghanaian singer Akwaboah has stirred conversation online after advising men not to let their partners work for another man. He shared his view in a post on his official Facebook page, stating, "Never let your woman work for another man. Yes, I said it." The musician did not explain his reasoning, leaving many Ghanaians to read their own meaning into the post and question what prompted it.

This is not the first time Akwaboah has made a public statement that sparked speculation about his marriage. Previously, he broke his silence on rumours that he was struggling in his marriage, after cryptic social media posts went viral. Speaking to Zion Felix, Akwaboah disclosed that he had been married for two years and dismissed claims that his wife did not care for him, insisting he was happier than before getting married.

Akwaboah's comment drew a wave of reactions from Ghanaians, with many linking it back to his marriage. Some read it as a warning about workplace dynamics between women and their male bosses, while others questioned what may have triggered the singer's decision to share such a view publicly. Reactions ranged from agreement to confusion, with some Ghanaians joking about stopping their partners from working.

Some Ghanaians expressed their opinions on social media, with Caleb Nana Ampim Antwi writing, "Ah this man kwraaa, who sent him to go and marry. Chale since he married, he's been saying things paaa Oh." Others, like Ama Agyemang Badu, simply stated, "When it is coming then it is doing." Believe Dat asked, "Where from this one too, dem don collect your woman?"

Not everyone agreed with Akwaboah's view, with Sela Mose Broni joking, "My woman works at the bank I will stop her tomorrow morning, maybe the boss dey eat am thank you sir." Qwesi Ocran responded, "Eeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiii Akwaboah Music, any problem? Then let Sarkodie solve give you waiso where should they go work? My gee." The mixed reactions indicate that Akwaboah's advice has sparked a lively debate.

This is not the first time Akwaboah has faced speculation about his marriage. Earlier, Ghanaian spiritualist Karma President had issued a prophecy about Akwaboah amid the earlier marriage speculation, alleging that a woman had cursed the singer and that the curse had "imprisoned him in the spiritual realm." The spiritualist warned the situation could affect Akwaboah's music career.

Akwaboah had also addressed backlash over an earlier comment urging people to save GH¢8,000 before marriage, arguing that critics missed the deeper message about financial readiness. His recent comment has left many to wonder what prompted him to share such a view and how it relates to his own marriage and experiences. The singer's Facebook post has sparked a significant conversation online.
