Speaking on UTV Ghana's United Showbiz show on Saturday, March 14, 2026, Broda Sammy noted that his now ex-wife initiated their divorce and ended their union.
He explained that he was performing at a musical event at Manso during the Christmas season when the head of his family informed him through a phone call that his France-based wife had returned the customary drinks used during their traditional marriage.
The gospel singer stated that his family head initially refused to take back the drinks and begin the divorce process without consulting him about his wife's action.
Broda Sammy noted that he and his family held a meeting with Obaa Yaa's family, but she failed to show up.
He stated that his now ex-wife confirmed through a phone call at the meeting that she wanted to end their marriage without detailing any reason behind her decision.
He said:
"I haven't ended my marriage. It is I who has been divorced. I was performing at a show in Manso during the Christmas period when my family head called to inform me that my drinks had been returned from France."
"They told me that they declined to take them back in my absence and that I needed to come home. I went there, and we called my wife's family. My wife did not attend the meeting. During our conversations, they said that my wife instructed them to return the drinks."
"My family head made my wife's mother call her on the phone, where she confirmed that she instructed them to return the drinks. When she was asked, she said I had not done anything bad to her."
Sammy stated that he consented to his wife's divorce request since they had not been living together in Ghana for a few years.
He explained that some individuals, with whom he used to live, spread falsehoods about him to his wife in the past.
The gospel singer also stated that a pastor had previously alleged to his wife that he had been married to an occult member.
Sammy noted that the falsehoods, coupled with a miscarriage his wife suffered during a return to Ghana, pushed her to end their marriage.
He said he realised his marriage had ended when his wife and her family members failed to attend his mother's funeral service, months before they officially divorced.
The veteran musician expressed his intention to remarry after his divorce, claiming that he was interested in tying the knot with his colleague Evangelist Diana Asamoah.
