Afua Asantewaa’s brother-in-law speaks on marriage
On Thursday, April 2, 2026, an alleged brother of Afua Asantewaa’s husband came out to debunk certain narratives surrounding their split.
In a video shared by Bless Star on TikTok, he began by giving a little background about his brother to push back on claims that he was broke and was taken abroad by his wife.
“The truth is that my brother is a journalist who worked at Graphic Sports and Daily Guide, so he was a very close friend of Kenpong and Kwabena Yeboah. He is very rich, he is just quiet, he doesn't like talking. He is so humble that every woman should be able to stay with him,” he said.
Afua Asantewaa’s alleged brother-in-law also said that their relationship was not over as she was claiming, but that whatever was going on was a social media fight.
“There is nothing wrong with their marriage; this is simply social media banter. Sometimes, they just decide to do certain things to trend and check how the public would react. In fact, my brother also went to Canada before Afua Asantewaa came; he stayed there for a year before she joined him,” he added.
