On Saturday, April 25, Richard Nii Armah Quaye appeared on the latest episode of The Delay Show to address the ongoing situation surrounding his divorce from his ex-wife, Joana.
The Accra High Court awarded Joana Quaye a lump sum of GH₵300,000, a one-third share of their Dansoman home, GH₵5,000 monthly for their three children, and other benefits, in a ruling finalising the couple’s divorce.
The decision sparked outrage on social media, particularly over reports that Joana Quaye played a crucial role in the establishment of Quick Credit, with some reports even alleging she gave her husband capital to establish the business.
During his appearance on the Delay Show, the businessman dismissed those narratives, insisting that he was already rich when they got married.
“If I had never had money, I couldn't have married her because we had a luxurious wedding. I had money before I got married to her, so I spent a lot of money marrying her. Before I married her, I had bought a car, a VW Passat. I had a car before I got married, and that was what we used for our wedding," he said.

Delay’s RNAQ interview faces scrutiny
In the aftermath of the show, Delay faced backlash over her conduct and performance during the interview.
Many Ghanaians online said her usual confrontational style was missing, and she was overly deferential to the businessman and did not push back sufficiently on his claims as she had done to many other guests.
She also faced allegations of being paid by Richard Nii Armah Quaye for a damage control exercise.
After a fan confronted her on Twitter with the claim that her interview was bought, Delay clapped back, insisting it was paid for but not by RNAQ.
She listed off all her sponsors to make clear they paid for the show and not Richard Nii Armah Quaye.
