While some people thought Adatsi should have stuck to the virtues he was preaching in the series, others think he should be allowed to live his life outside of acting.
In a statement released on his Instagram page and sighted by YEN.com.gh, he has acted responsibly by having the baby instead of being a hypocrite.
"I understand that in some of my professional engagements, I have come to represent many morally upright things to the masses, but, in all humility, I refuse to hoist the flag of hypocrisy as a substitute o taking responsibility of the choice I made."
Adatsi further indicated that he is now in a better position to continue in his unofficial capacity as an Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH) ambassador.
Meanwhile, Adatsi and Eyram, have dropped stunning baby bump photos following the birth and subsequent naming ceremony of their son.
