Mzbel denies Schwar's claims about her son
Weeks after Schwar's video, Mzbel denied claims that the late musician Castro, who was officially declared dead in 2021, was the father of her son.
Speaking in an interview, the veteran singer noted that she last saw her late colleague after composing a tribute song for the late Buk Bak group member Ronnie Coaches, who passed away at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra from a heart attack on November 21, 2013.
The veteran hiplife musician noted that she gave birth to her son, Okomfo Black, years after her friendship with the late Castro ended.
She said the Toffee hitmaker was still alive when she gave birth to her son. She questioned why Afia Schwarzenegger and others would assume that her late colleague was the biological father of her son.
The Awoso Me hitmaker stated that she would not be forced to share the true identity of Adepa's biological father with the public.

Mzbel speaks on Okomfo Black's biological father
In an interview with renowned blogger Zionfelix on Wednesday, January 7, 2025, Mzbel reiterated that the late Castro was not the biological father of her son, Okomfo Black.
She noted that she would cause controversy if she shared the true identity of her son's biological father.
Mzbel, who has regularly spoken about her disbelief in the existence of God and religion, shared that Okomfo Black's father was a pastor.
She said:
"It is not true that I welcomed my child with Castro. There will be massive controversy if I share the identity of Adepa's father. The controversy won't end even after five years because one weird side about it is that he is a pastor."
"He (Okomfo Black's father) is what you people will call a man of God, so it is not Castro."
The veteran singer recounted how her once blossoming friendship and working relationship with the late Castro ended after he became close friends with prominent footballers like Asamoah Gyan and others.
