Below are some social media comments compiled by YEN.com.gh after the new details emerged.

Afia Owusu wrote:

"Advice to my daughter: Never put your personal ambitions on hold for anyone. Focus on building yourself first before investing heavily in a man. Most Men’s preferences in women change as their financial circumstances improve. The version of a man who is struggling is not always the same as the one who succeeds. Support a man if you choose to, but never at the expense of your own growth, independence, and security."

"Brotherhood is not proud of this man's treatment of his queen. Brotherhood is about fairness. This woman has been solid from the start. She is not a gold digger. She is actually mine. Justice for Joana."

Afia Akyem wrote:

"As rich as he is and the support he is giving some people in Ghana, he can even do better than this for your children's mother and someone who can be attributed to your success."
