Akwaboah loses female fans after wedding
It seems gossip and rumours were not the only things he lost — some fans, too.
Following their wedding, Akwaboah claims to have received many messages from his female fans, who were not pleased that he had married.
"Some came to my DM on Facebook and Instagram to express their disappointment and dismay that I'm married. In fact, the day I got married, OMG — the comments!" Akwaboah said while laughing.
The musician maintained a philosophical perspective on the situation, suggesting that losing admirers after marriage is a common occurrence across various spheres of life.
"Oh, it's normal. It happens everywhere — even in church, when a pastor marries, some members leave. You know, there's a difference between talent and character. When you use your talent or gift, it attracts a lot of people, but your character sets things apart," he explained.

Despite the initial backlash, the Obiaa hitmaker expressed confidence that his musical talent would ultimately retain his fanbase.
He noted that while some fans were disappointed by the news of his marriage, others have remained supportive.
"Some have been very supportive, and I believe those who left will surely come back because they love my songs," Akwaboah stated.
